The restitution of cultural goods: the PhD in Law and Humanities conference

On Tuesday, March 7, at 10:30 a.m., in the Aula Magna of the Cloister of Sant'Abbondio, the international conference The restitution of cultural goods between supranational and domestic law, will be held as part of the Doctoral Program in Law and Humanities of the Department of Law Economics and Cultures, under the sponsorship of The 1995 Unidroit Convention Academic Project.

This is an extremely topical issue, as evidenced also by recent television and newspaper reports, which deserves to be explored in depth also in light of the important anniversaries celebrated in recent years, particularly the anniversaries of the entry into force of the Unesco and Unidroit Conventions, regarding the restitution of cultural property. 

The conference, which includes the participation of qualified Italian and foreign scholars, will discuss restitutory obligations from both a national, international and comparative law perspective.
