Abstract

Blockchain could be used as a mechanism to certify the provenance and movements of cultural goods and contribute to the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural property. By strengthening the traceability of cultural goods, blockchain can simplify due diligence requirements and facilitate prosecution and convictions for all the relevant offences of illicit trafficking in cultural goods. However, such an impact is necessarily tempered due to the specificity of this kind of illicit trafficking, as well as the technical and conceptual constraints of the blockchain itself. Even though blockchain in its current form cannot overcome the legal obstacles which hamper the efficacy of the fight against illicit trafficking, such as the lack of harmonization of legal systems, its value in this area should not be dismissed altogether. An overview of the relevant international and European norms, highlighted using national law examples, reveals the complementary role that blockchain can have in this field, not only in terms of best practices but also in terms of an increased visibility for cultural goods and their international movement.
区块链与文化产品的非法贩运
区块链可作为一种机制,用于证明文化物品的来源和流向,并有助于打击非法贩运文化财产。通过加强文化物品的可追溯性,区块链可以简化尽职调查要求,促进对非法贩运文化物品的所有相关罪行进行起诉和定罪。然而,由于这类非法贩运的特殊性,以及区块链本身的技术和概念限制,这种影响必然会有所减弱。尽管目前形式的区块链无法克服阻碍打击非法贩运效率的法律障碍,如法律制度不统一,但不应完全否定其在这一领域的价值。通过对相关国际和欧洲规范的概述,并利用国内法实例加以强调,可以看出区块链在这一领域可以发挥补充作用,不仅在最佳实践方面,而且在提高文化产品及其国际流通的能见度方面。
