Assessing the Legal Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Saudi Arabia: A Critical Analysis in the Context of the 2003 UNESCO Convention

Saudi Arabia boasts a diverse and abundant cultural heritage that reflects a fusion of pre-Islamic and Islamic civilizations, serving as a precious legacy for future generations. Confronted with the challenges arising from globalization and rapid development, preserving intangible cultural heritage has become increasingly challenging, particularly in the absence of comprehensive heritage policies. The initial steps toward conservation were taken in 1972 when legislation was enacted to protect historical and cultural sites. However, it was not until 2014 that a new law was introduced to address the gaps left by the 1972 law. Unfortunately, this legal protection predominantly centered on tangible aspects of cultural heritage, leaving the equally important intangible cultural heritage neglected and unprotected. This study aims to evaluate the existing legal mechanisms in Saudi Arabia for the preservation and protection of intangible cultural heritage. It identifies the existing deficiencies and obstacles in the current cultural heritage framework regarding the preservation of intangible cultural heritage in Saudi Arabia. Our analysis focuses on how Saudi Arabia aligns with the principles and guidelines established by the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The Legal Protection Path of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ethnic Minorities Beyond the Framework of Intellectual Property Rights

For the legal protection of intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities, China has basically formed a legal protection mode combining international legal protection with domestic legal protection, and combining public law protection with private law protection. However, the protection of intangible cultural heritage by the intellectual property system is concentrated in two aspects: creative products (works) based on traditional knowledge and traditional skills that have not yet been disclosed and can be applied in industry. The protection of intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities is facing the dilemma of limited compatibility of intellectual property rights. Therefore, we should clarify the protection ideas of intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities, go beyond the framework of intellectual property rights, and form a diversified protection path of intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities.

Research on the Innovative Development of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Context of Globalization

Globalization, as a significant trend in today's world development, is profoundly changing our way of life and cultural landscape.
