Abstract

International criminal law is one vehicle for protecting cultural heritage to enable it to play its role as an element in sustainable development and for transmission to future generations. The chief juridical means by which it does this is by providing for individual criminal responsibility under the respective rubrics of war crimes and crimes against humanity for the intentional destruction or damage and the misappropriation of cultural property. The chapter offers a straightforward account of the relevant principles of international criminal law.

Keywords: cultural heritage, international criminal law

JEL Classification: K33
