INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE BETWEN THE LIEBER CODE (1854) AND THE HAGUE CONVENTION (1954)

Summary/Abstract: The international legislation referring to the protection of the cultural heritage both in times of peace and of war started initially from a few articles inserted in legislative acts on armed actions of belligerent states, constituting itself in time in freestanding laws. In the course of a century several pacts and conventions were published which constituted the basis for the other international laws. The great importance for this period is represented by the Lieber Code (1854), The Conventions of the Hague conferences (1899, 1907, and 1954) and the Roerich Pact (1935).
