Abstract

Unethical, immoral trafficking of cultural property is illegal in most states. The commercial imperative is not responsive to the cultural flow, the importance of intergenerational transmission of culture, or the need to take control over the free movement of cultural property. The demand for antiquities greatly exceeds the diminishing legitimate supply. Suppliers (robbers, dealers, brokers) evade the law when making transnational transactions. Private international law can play a vital role in regulating the cross-border transfer of cultural goods.
