Cultural property laws

Cultural property laws are regulations designed to protect objects, buildings, and sites of historical, cultural, or archaeological significance. They aim to preserve a society's heritage by controlling the excavation, ownership, sale, and export of these items. These laws often require permits for artifacts removal, prohibit illegal trade, and may designate certain sites as protected areas. Compliance ensures that cultural treasures are preserved for future generations, respecting their cultural importance while balancing interests in education, tourism, and private ownership.
