Cultural Heritage Law explores the way in which the law defines, shapes and regulates cultural heritage, from both an international and national perspective.
International and national law has addressed cultural heritage from a variety of perspectives, often in response to the devastating destruction of sacred places, historic buildings, relics and cultural icons during times of armed conflict. It includes the illicit excavation, export and trade in artefacts, salvage activities on iconic wrecks and the preservation of intangible cultural heritage such as traditional crafts, music and dance.
Suitable for lawyers and professionals working within the culture, environment and natural resource sectors, this course examines the implementation of Australian law to address global cultural heritage challenges and the nation’s own unique issues, in particular the relationship between cultural heritage and native title.
This course may also be taken as a CPD course or a non-award course.
