Abstract
The use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to retrieve illegally acquired cultural artifacts, looted colonial-era art, and other cultural property obtained through dubious means has increased. Alternative Dispute Resolution methods such as negotiation, mediation, and arbitration have been used to resolve international cultural property disputes. International institutions have made efforts to facilitate the return of cultural property. The United Nations Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) established the Return of Cultural Property to Its Countries of Origin or Its Restitution in Case of Illicit Appropriation (ICPRCP) in 1978. Additionally, UNESCO adopted the Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export, and Transfer of the Ownership of Cultural Property in 1970.
