National Cultural Heritage Laws
Listed in UNESCO Data Hub
The UNESCO Database of National Cultural Heritage Laws (CultNatLaws Database) serves as an international gateway to national legislation concerning cultural heritage.
Description
Widely consulted by law‑enforcement authorities, art‑market professionals, academics and policy makers, the CultNatlaws Database is an essential reference for determining the legality of cultural property exports, imports and ownership transfers - and, therefore, a critical tool in the fight against illicit trafficking.
