Human Rights And Illicit Trade In Cultural Objects, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Human Rights And Illicit Trade In Cultural Objects, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Movable cultural heritage is not bounded nor shielded by national territorial borders. Applicable domestic laws are of limited import without the cooperation of other states and the international community. Despite a century of domestic legal protection of movable cultural heritage in many states, widespread non-compliance and lack of enforcement has been the norm rather than the exception. However, the tide is turning. States formerly reluctant to ratify cultural heritage treaties have done so, signalling their acceptance of the importance of multilateral action in this field. Enforcement of such laws is viewed as part of the reinforcement of good governance, rule …
Enforcing Restitution Of Cultural Heritage Through Peace Agreements, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Enforcing Restitution Of Cultural Heritage Through Peace Agreements, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Peace agreements have been an important source of international law in modern times. They have been especially important in the earliest formulations of the international and regional protection of cultural heritage. The significance of this source of international law making and its enforcement has become more pronounced with the exponential proliferation of peace processes and resultant agreements since the end of the Cold War. It is argued that how cultural heritage (and cultural rights) is historically dealt with in peace agreements falls broadly into three discernible categories: (1) restitution and restoration of cultural heritage as reparations between existing states, post …

Cultural Rights: The Possible Impact Of Private Military And Security Companies, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Culture and its protection has been present in the earliest codifications of the laws of war and international humanitarian law, both in its physical manifestations as cultural heritage and its practice and enjoyment as cultural rights. However, the engagement of PMSCs in recent conflicts has again raised the vexed issue of the role of ‘culture’ and heritage professionals in armed conflicts and belligerent occupation. This debate has in turn exposed the limitations of existing IHL and human rights instruments.
To complement the PRIV-WAR project’s current and projected work, this report is divided into four parts. First, there is an examination …

The role of law in the removal and return of cultural objects has long been fraught and contested. This paper examines the history and development of the legal protection of cultural heritage at the international level with particular reference to the return of cultural objects.
With a view to facilitating the Intergovernmental Committee's future work, the paper is divided into four parts.

Cultural Heritage In Human Rights And Humanitarian Law, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak

The public outcry in response to the looting of the Baghdad Museum following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the bombardment of the historic city of Dubrovnik in 1991 are contemporary examples of international condemnation of attacks upon cultural heritage during armed conflict and belligerent occupation. This international concern has manifested itself since the earliest codification of the laws of war which provided cultural heritage with a protection regime distinct from other civilian property, and state categorically that violations shall be subject to legal sanctions. These general international humanitarian law instruments are augmented by a specialist multilateral framework which governs …
