The examination of the legal nature of the codes of ethics and of their effectiveness is preceded by the analysis of their role which is frequently twofold. On the one hand, ethical codes can inspire market regulation by establishing or by confirming a catalogue of good practices in this field. This is the case of the CINOA (International Confederation of Art and Antique Dealers) Code of Ethics and the ICOM (International Council for Museums) Code of Ethics. In such cases, the codes of ethics may have a direct and/or an indirect effect to the functioning of the commercial transactions in this sector. Ethical codes may also represent a source of inspiration for the development of law rules, at both national and international levels.","PeriodicalId":384152,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of International Cultural Heritage Law","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114717043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many controversies concern the restitution of movable cultural objects lost during war, occupation, or colonization or following theft or illicit trade in peacetime. With artworks often found outside their country of origin, these cases are cross-border, involving more than one legal system and/or entities established or residing in different jurisdictions. Moreover, international disputes have arisen regarding immovable cultural heritage and its protection, not only in warlike situations and intentional attacks but also in non-violent processes such as realization of development projects. Various cases also concern management and access to built heritage. By consequence, international cultural heritage disputes can be settled through non-judicial procedures—negotiation, mediation, conciliation, or arbitration—commonly referred to as ‘Alternative Dispute Resolution’ (ADR) means; or, if these fail or are not available, through litigation before domestic courts or international tribunals.","PeriodicalId":384152,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of International Cultural Heritage Law","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122339471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, even a cursory consideration of the practice reveals that the vast majority of restitution claims arising in the past few decades have been settled through such means. Admittedly, this is due to the fact that ADR procedures combine important virtues. The first advantage of ADR resides in the parties’ power to tailor the settlement process according to their interests and the circumstances of the dispute. Second, private settlement is likely to be speedier and cheaper. Third, these mechanisms provide for flexibility and creativity. Fourth, since disputes are resolved out of the public eye, extra-curial resolution ensures confidentiality. Lastly, ADR entails neutrality and fairness.","PeriodicalId":384152,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of International Cultural Heritage Law","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132072073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In several cases, a foreign country as defendant has raised the defence of immunity. With respect to jurisdiction, two different kinds must be distinguished: international jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction. Subsequently, several questions of the applicable law may become important in art law cases. They range from the law applicable to contracts to the law applicable to succession. If foreign law has to be applied, the result of this application may be changed or modified by public policy of the forum State or, if local law is applicable, foreign mandatory rules may be considered and given effect in the forum State. There are hardly any foreign judgments which had to be enforced in local fora. Most of the cases were decided in the country where the art object or its owner were located and therefore could be enforced in the country of decision.","PeriodicalId":384152,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of International Cultural Heritage Law","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132732215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UNESCO has the purpose of contributing to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science, and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, the rule of law, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. Cooperation between the UN and UNESCO has been strengthened to face the threats posed by the practice of targeting or looting cultural properties in situations of crisis aimed at exacerbating tensions and financing illegal activities. This sheds further light on the link between culture and international peace and security. The main organs of UNESCO are the General Conference, the Executive Board, and the Secretariat. The present UNESCO normative framework for culture includes several declarations and recommendations and six so-called ‘heritage conventions’, devoted to different kinds of cultural heritage.","PeriodicalId":384152,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of International Cultural Heritage Law","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117030128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While a fully effective and inclusive participation and cooperation is far from being achieved, this chapter acknowledges the steps moving away from a strictly top-down approach within cultural heritage governance.","PeriodicalId":384152,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of International Cultural Heritage Law","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124168401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
