International Cultural Property Protection

International Cultural Property Protection involves efforts to safeguard valuable cultural artifacts, artworks, and historical sites from theft, illicit trading, and destruction. It includes international agreements like the UNESCO Convention, which encourages countries to cooperate in preventing the illegal export and sale of cultural objects. The goal is to preserve global cultural heritage by promoting legal standards, collaboration, and awareness among nations, museums, and collectors. This ensures that important cultural items remain accessible for future generations, protecting the shared history and identity of societies worldwide.
