世界文化遗产正受到战争、非法贩运、社会和经济动荡、无管制的挖掘和忽视的威胁。在近五十年的时间里,联合国教育、科学及文化组织通过了五项国际公约,试图保护这一文化遗产。本书对联合国教科文组织这五项文化遗产公约进行了全面、批判性的思考。这本书在最近暴露了文化遗产面临的危险的事件的背景下审视了这些公约,包括伊拉克文化遗址的破坏和巴格达博物馆的抢劫,阿富汗巴米扬大佛的破坏,泰坦尼克号文物的打捞,以及中国、秘鲁和意大利考古物品的非法挖掘和贸易。
The world's cultural heritage is under threat from war, illicit trafficking, social and economic upheaval, unregulated excavation and neglect. Over a period of almost fifty years, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation has adopted five international conventions that attempt to protect this cultural heritage. This book comprehensively and critically considers these five UNESCO cultural heritage conventions. The book looks at the conventions in the context of recent events that have exposed the dangers faced by cultural heritage, including the destruction of cultural heritage sites in Iraq and the looting of the Baghdad museum, the destruction the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, the salvage of artefacts from the RMS Titanic and the illicit excavation and trade in Chinese, Peruvian and Italian archaeological objects.
