Bøker i Routledge Studies in Cultural Heritage and International Law-serien

Setting out the international law principles and rules derived from the various international conventions that address cultural heritage in its various manifestations, this book critically evaluates the extent to which these international laws provide an effective and coherent framework for the protection of cultural heritage.

Since the Intangible Heritage Convention was adopted by UNESCO in 2003, intangible cultural heritage has increasingly been an important subject of debate in international forums.

This book offers a thorough academic investigation on the importance of cultural heritage to sustainable development and cultural rights from an international law perspective.
