Abstract

The preservation and protection of tangible cultural heritage is an obligation incumbent on states by virtue of a range of international human rights guarantees. After a prefatory outline of the basic parameters of international human rights law, the article outlines the sources and content of this obligation before considering, in the light of this content and of these basic parameters, whether a human rights-based approach is a useful addition to the international legal framework for the preservation and protection of tangible cultural heritage.
