This Handbook offers a collection of original writings by leading scholars and practitioners in the exciting, rapidly developing field of cultural heritage law. The detailed essays are the product of a multi-year project of the Committee on Cultural Heritage Law of the International Law Association.

Following a comprehensive introduction to cultural heritage law, the book turns to the core topic of international trade. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and a 1970 UNESCO convention on illegal trafficking in cultural material formed the foundation for progressive development of an impressive and still-evolving legal framework. Building on these and other instruments, the essays focus on import and export controls within specific national legal regimes. Concluding chapters contextualize additional important issues – including human rights, pluralism and nationalism – from a broader, global perspective. Innovative in its combination of comparative and international dimensions of the subject, this book provides a ready, well-documented reference to national and international regimes of control and a scholarly source for teaching and further research.

Students, professors and practitioners of trade law, cultural heritage law and general international law will find this Handbook an invaluable resource.
Critical Acclaim
‘There is a sad dearth of writings on ‘Cultural Heritage’ with just two or three other books on this topic, the best, by far, being Elgar’s Handbook on the Law of Cultural Heritage and International Trade. I have seen no other book on this subject that even links International Trade Law with this subject and so the two Editors, Professors Nafziger and Paterson are to be hugely commended for this exciting and scholarly legal Masterpiece, a true Handbook in the true sense of the word.’
– Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer
