Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Properties in Arab States provides
a bird's-eye view of the phenomenon of illicit trafficking of
cultural properties and serves as a reference point for
governments, enforcement agencies, international organizations,
stakeholders, and civil societies. It focuses geographically on the
Arab World: the countries in the Middle East, Gulf of Arabia, Horn
of Africa and North Africa. To date a holistic approach to the
topic in this region has been lacking. The book investigates the
nature of illicit trafficking of cultural properties, the means and
impact of illicit activities and crimes perpetrated against
archaeological sites and museums. Through up-to-date information,
grounded on solid research data, it traces the routes of illicit
trafficking and analyzes the actual situation of the targeted
region with an eye on the implementation of the international
conventions. The aim is to investigate possible firm responses to
illicit trafficking and determine the priorities and needs of this
region. The outcomes are visible recommendations on the challenge
of illicit trafficking of cultural properties in the Arab region,
promoting modalities for sharing data and encouraging the review of
legislative and judicial systems and practices connected to illicit
trafficking of cultural properties. Finally, the work encourages
the coordination of stakeholders and the use of technological
advances to fulfil this monumental duty.
