UNESCO’s 1970 Convention

UNESCO’s 1970 Convention aims to combat the illegal trade of cultural property, such as artifacts and artworks. It encourages countries to work together to protect their cultural heritage by preventing the export of stolen or illegally obtained items. The Convention establishes guidelines for the return of these items to their rightful owners and promotes international cooperation to safeguard cultural heritage for future generations. By doing so, it fosters appreciation for diverse cultures and helps preserve humanity's collective history.
