Abstract

The article addresses the legal challenges and evolving frameworks for recovering stolen cultural property, emphasizing the interplay between national and international laws. It argues that while significant progress has been made, particularly in the U.S., through judicial precedents and international conventions like the 1970 UNESCO and 1995 UNIDROIT Conventions, a unified global response is essential to combat the illicit trade effectively.
