This new text provides practical guidance on the modern law
relating to cultural objects which have been stolen, looted or
illegally exported. It explains how English criminal law
principles, including money laundering measures, apply to those who
deal in cultural objects in a domestic or international setting. It
discusses the recovery of works of art and antiquities in the
English courts where there are competing claims between private
individuals, or between individuals and the UK Government or a
foreign State. Significantly, this text also provides an exposition
of the law where a British law enforcement agency, or a foreign law
enforcement agency, is involved in the course of criminal or civil
proceedings in an English court. The growth of relevant
international instruments, which include not only those devoted to
the protection of mankind's cultural heritage but also those
concerned with money laundering and serious organised crime,
provide a backdrop to this discussion. The UK's ratification of the
UNESCO Convention on Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the
Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural
Property 1970 in 2002 is considered. The problems posed in
attempting to curb trafficking in art and antiquities are explored
and the effectiveness of the current law is analysed.
