Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article explores the intersection of "cultural property" and "cultural heritage," arguing that while cultural property refers to specific, legally defined objects of historical or scientific significance, cultural heritage encompasses a broader, collective concept tied to identity, history, and public interest. The article highlights how these concepts increasingly overlap, particularly in cases involving restitution, indigenous rights, and the commodification of cultural artifacts. It emphasizes the need for harmonized national and international legal frameworks to address these issues effectively.
