The concept of cultural heritage – an international law perspective

Trpimir M. Šošić ; Pravni fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu

Sažetak

In international legal doctrine the lack of a uniform legal definition of cultural heritage, a term widely in use in the field of international cultural property protection over the past decades, has been observed. It is the aim of the present paper to shed light on the content and scope of the cultural heritage concept primarily from the perspective of public international law. In that respect, first, the concept’s development is explained, and thereafter the definitions, i.e. methods of determining the objects of protection, in the relevant conventions of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) are analysed. A special section is devoted to the ever more significant concept of the cultural heritage of mankind.
