Statute overview

About this statute

This preamble says the parties adopt common rules to help recover and return stolen or illegally exported cultural property and to protect cultural heritage. The Convention applies to international claims for return of stolen cultural property and for return of cultural property removed from a contracting state's territory in violation of its export law protecting cultural heritage. This article defines “cultural property” for the Convention. El poseedor de un bien cultural robado debe restituirlo. Las demandas de restitución tienen plazos de 3 años desde que se conoce la ubicación y el poseedor, y en todo caso 50 años desde el robo; para ciertos bienes de monumentos, sitios arqueológicos o colecciones públicas, rige solo el plazo de 3 años. A person holding a stolen cultural good that must be returned may be entitled to equitable compensation if they did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that it was stolen and can show due diligence when buying it.
