Curbing trafficking in cultural property: a path for global strategy?
The conference “Combating Trafficking in Cultural Property: Towards a Global Strategy?” brings together experts, academics, and representatives of international organizations to discuss global and national strategies to counter the illicit trade in cultural property. The goal is to foster a concrete dialogue on the importance of cooperation among institutions, law enforcement agencies, the private sector, and the international community to protect cultural heritage and prevent crime in the art and antiquities market.
The first session offers an overview of international and national approaches to combating illicit trafficking, outlining the relevant legal framework and the role of competent authorities in the recovery and protection of cultural property.
The second session focuses on cooperation among the various actors involved in the restitution and recovery of stolen cultural assets, bringing together experiences and perspectives from representatives of international and supranational organizations such as EUROJUST, INTERPOL, and UNICRI.
Finally, the roundtable aims to open a discussion on the implementation of the 2014 United Nations International Guidelines for Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Responses with Respect to Trafficking in Cultural Property and Other Related Offences.
