This book investigates China's demands for the repatriation of
Chinese cultural relics 'lost' during the country's modern history.
It addresses two main research questions: Can the original owners,
or their rightful successors, of cultural objects looted, stolen,
or illicitly exported before the adoption of the 1954 Hague
Convention and the 1970 UNESCO Convention reclaim their cultural
objects pursuant to remedies provided by international or national
law? And what are the philosphical, ethical, and cultural
considerations of identity underlying the international conventions
protecting cultural objects and claims made for repatriating them?
The first part of the book explores current positive legal regimes,
while the second part focuses on the philosphical, ethical, and
cultural considerations regarding repatriation of cultural objects.
Consisting of seven chapters and an introduction, it outlines the
loss of Chinese cultural relics in modern history and the normative
framework for the protection of cultural heritage. It presents case
studies designed to assess the possibility of seeking legal
remedies for restitution under contemporary legal regimes and
examines the cultural and ethical issues underpinning the
international conventions protecting cultural heritage and claims
for the repatriation of cultural heritage. It also discusses issues
of cultural identity, the right to cultural identity and heritage,
multiculturalism, the politics of recognition, cosmopolitanism, the
right to cultural heritage, and other related issues. The
concluding chapter answers the two research questions and offers
suggestions for future research.
