- Keywords:UNIDROIT; UNESCO; Uniform law; due diligence; compensation; archaeological objects; multilateral cooperation
- Summary/Abstract:The UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects is a step towards the unification of law and an important stage in the definition of a specific regulation of cultural property. It was prepared at the request of UNESCO to integrate and reinforce its 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. Although directed at the same problem, and fully complementary, it is evident that there are differences between the 1970 and 1995 Conventions.This article will examine the mechanisms provided for by the Convention relating to restitution of stolen objects and to return of illegally exported objects, and in particular the concept of “due diligence”. This norm has today become a benchmark and has in particular been taken over by European Directive 2014/60.Some instruments developed by UNIDROIT have provided real guidance in the areas of law they cover. This is particularly the case of the 1995 Convention. Beyond the number of States Partiesto this instrument, its influence is evident, in particular the concept of due diligence, in national legislations, case law and in the recent legislative effort at European and international level.

Санкционната система в италианското право на културните ценности

- Language:Bulgarian
- Subject(s):Law, Constitution, Jurisprudence, International Law
- Page Range:75-94
- No. of Pages:20
- Keywords:Cultural wealth; regime of safeguarding cultural wealth; administrative sanctions; punishments
- Summary/Abstract:Within the Code of cultural heritage and landscape of the year 2004 (Codice dei beni culturali e del paesaggio – d.l. 22 gennaio 2004 n. 42) a significant part is devoted to the sanctions (Articles 160–181), thus leading to the conclusion that a real and essential sanction system safeguarding the cultural heritage has been established.The norms in the Code envisage mainly sanctions of administrative nature (Article 160–166), which I will present briefly. The Code also contains provisions regarding the invalidity of all legal acts violating the provisions of the Code itself, which seems to be entirely of civil law nature. I will also discuss those provisions, which constitute certain discrepancies in light of their interpretation by the Italian Court of Cassation.Then, in a synthetic elaboration I will focus on the norms envisaging sanctions of criminal nature (Articles 169–180). The emphasis can actually be on the fact that this Code does not exhaust the criminal matter concerning protected cultural values and landscape but its norms are added to those in the Italian Criminal Code although this creates a possibility for manifestation of some problems when coordinating their application.Another aspect that will be presented is the fact that in some cases the norms of criminal nature in this Code concern violations of the law related to endangering, most often consisting of the absence of request to the competent administrative authorities (The Ministry of Cultural Heritage and its divisions) for granting permissions or giving concessions: these violations are considered performed even if the relevant cultural site has not suffered any damages due to such absence. Some scholars raise the issues of the constitutionality of these norms due to their too general content or because they are founded on not so well-defined requirements of the administrative offices.In conclusion, the issues related to the actual efficacy of the sanction system in its complex form will be discussed, by presenting some proposals for its review so that it can be more effective in the field of protection of cultural values.

- Language:English

- Page Range:95-108
- No. of Pages:14
- Keywords:Italian legal scholarship; contemporary history; European legal history; cultural heritage law; cultural goods; immaterial goods; intellectual property
- Summary/Abstract:The paper focuses on Italian legal scholarship while developing principles and theories that could be deemed as grounding Italian legislation aimed at protecting the national cultural heritage after national unification. Although this legislation inherits instruments and solutions dating back to previous centuries, in the considered period it acquires a new physiognomy and inner structure, thanks to the conceptual contribution of legal scholarship, that also draws inspiration and hints from European juridical culture, circulating across national borders. In the history of (not only) national law protection of cultural heritage, the identification of the juridical status of ‘cultural goods’ acquires specific importance and deals with a kind of new asset of individuals-society-humanity relationship, seen through the legal prism of ‘property’. That’s because these specific goods are physical corpora taking over a set of values which is ontologically immaterial. ‘Immateriality’ acquires specific significance with regard to these goods, being the intrinsic aesthetical-cultural value – also in its identitarian declination – coessential to them. Hence, these goods embodying values challenge Italian legal scholarship, suggesting a new dialectic between individuals and collectivity, this last one progressively shifting from a national dimension to a global one.

- Keywords:Immovable cultural heritage; “State-oriented” model; alternative ownership regimes; foundations; environmental trust; FAI
- Summary/Abstract:This paper’s main objective is to identify the key role that alternative regimes based on integration and cooperation between public regulatory authorities and private property could play within the context of protection and enhancement of cultural property. In this regard, The National Trust in the United Kingdom has inspired innovative solutions all around the world, including also Italy where foundations are taking on an increasingly important role in the protection of immovable cultural heritage, in parallel with the broader consensus regarding the participation by the private sector at different levels. Due to insufficient public funding and infrastructure in this area, the involvement of the private sector is crucial, and this in turn calls for the implementation of virtuous regimes governing cooperation between public and private institutions.

- Language:Bulgarian
- Subject(s):Law, Constitution, Jurisprudence, International Law
- Page Range:138-150
- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:Democracy; Res Publica; culture; legal science
- Summary/Abstract:The article reviews some of the aspects of the so-called “insufficiency of democracy” in contemporary world related to the inconsistency between the term of democracy and the notion of it. In the attempts to understand and reconstruct democracy, the author proposes an exploration of ancient civilization because the issue of democracy raises the issue of culture and its understanding in the first place, especially in its historical and legal aspect. Just then comes the political will.A series of summaries and comparisons has been made between democracy in Ancient Greece and in Rome, between the perception of ancient traditions and models during the time of bourgeois revolutions and in the modern world. The author assumes that the historical and dogmatic knowledge was taken apart from democracy and from the republic and it was not discovered again in the science of law of the twentieth century.One of the current tasks of legal science and, more particularly, of Romanist science, is to restore in modern culture the knowledge of the democracy and of the republic in their ancient context and essence.

- Page Range:153-196
- No. of Pages:44
- Keywords:Cultural wealth; cultural values; contemporary law; Roman law; copyright; plagiarism
- Summary/Abstract:The article specifies briefly the legal terminology used in Bulgarian legislation in relation to the cultural wealth – “cultural wealth”, “cultural heritage”, “cultural values”, respectively combined with the modifiers “national”, “historical”, “world”, etc. Considering the entire review of this legislation, the law in its historical development doesn’t conform to the notion of a cultural value. It is assigned an “official role” – to establish order and conditions for protection and preservation of cultural values, which are public domain.In this respect, although there is not a legal regulation in Roman law, the main topic of the article – plagiarism – is essential in contemporary law on the protection of cultural values and especially for the protection of copyright. The article is dedicated to plagiarism related mostly to the works of fiction literature. The conclusion offers a brief overview of the rules and principles of Roman law bearing universal validity in modern times as well.

- Keywords:Legal culture; legal institution; cultural valuеs; moral content of law
- Summary/Abstract:The article presents the legal institute as an element of socioculture in societies. The discussion is focused on the difficulties in defining legal culture, which is seen as an element of culture as a whole. Legal culture is understood in two ways: 1) the development of law as part of human civilization and 2) the art of the lawyer to apply the law.The article examines the institutionalization of values in law in order to explore the impact of socio-culture in building the legal institutes. The main conclusion is that the durability and flexibility of legal institutes as an element of the legal system is due to the influence of values as moral ideals on the content of law.

- Summary/Abstract:The cultural heritage of the nation along with its material and spiritual dimensions is an important factor for realizing the cultural belonging of each individual, as well as of society as a whole. To this end, the cultural heritage and cultural values of a people constitute an emanation of its cultural identity, and the preservation and respect for this heritage and these values is an expression of the respect to the very people and its national identity. Therefore, the act of juridical regulation at the constitutional level of the principle that everyone is entitled to benefit from the national and universal human cultural values is in and of itself an act of enshrining the right of cultural identity in the Constitution.Cultural identity and supporting the basic principles in relation to the legal framework of cultural heritage have their constitutional dimensions from the perspective of their guaranteeing by the Fundamental Law of the country.Bulgarian cultural identity is outlined as a core of values and principles set forth, expressed and defined in Bulgarian constitutions from the Liberation to the present day. The legitimate definition of the Bulgarian cultural identity is reflected in the constitutional development of Bulgaria and the dimensions of that development are the subject of the present report.

- Summary/Abstract:The protection of cultural heritage would be incomplete without criminal protection by criminalizing offenses on cultural values. Before the adoption of the Law on Cultural Heritage and the relevant amendment and supplement to the Criminal Code of 2009, Bulgarian criminal law settled schematically this matter. An attempt has been made then to establish a significantly more comprehensive system of crimes involving cultural values. However, a number of problems arise from the necessity to relate the concepts set out in the Law on Cultural Heritage to the individual elements of the crimes under the Criminal Code. For example: the concept of cultural value and the objects of crime; the conditions provided for carrying out various activities with cultural values and the definition of some offensive acts, consequences involving public hazards, etc.

These frequently arising relationships have been analyzed and particularly, the property relationships have been mentioned because in Private International Law (PIL) “cultural values” is understood mostly as objects, recognized as cultural monuments.With the aim to provide a more profound presentation of the subject of this research, the paper has mentioned and analysed both the national regulation under the PIL Code, and the international legal regulation under some of the most important international acts, such as UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. Important place has also been given to the supranational legal regulation in the EU law acts – contracts, regulations and directives.The general problem presented by this research is to determine the law applicable to disputes with an international element dealing with cultural values. The answer of this basic PIL question has been given in the light of national, supranational and international regulation.

The latter prevails because our national legislator has recognized museums as a type of legal subject – legal entities (persons). The author scrutinizes museums' features as legal entities by clarifying their legal status and specifics in terms of the various general classifications of legal persons. In addition, some of the more important special classifications of museums as a particular kind of legal entity are considered.

- Summary/Abstract:Preserving our cultural heritage has been of utmost importance through the years, regardless of the political and economic situation in the country. It is possible to assume that culture, in its most complete range of material and immaterial elements, is one of the pillars of one nation’s identity, both in its national and international aspects. Law is closely connected to public relations as far as our culture and cultural heritage is concerned. This is proved by the establishment of community centres – a unique form of Bulgarian cultural organization legally founded on freedom of civil communities and an act of charity. The present article is aimed at offering an explanation of the legal status of national community centres from their first appearance to modern days. Last, but not least, legal issues and offered for discussion along with proposed solutions in order for the community centres to function properly within the modern legal system. The public nature of such organizations, the need of their legal differentiation from foundations, associations and other NGOs by means of explicit legislation norms is emphasized. The material base, the economic activity of the community centres, the administrative burden their coordinators encounter is illustrated and the necessity for improvement in the future legislation is pointed out. Importantly, it has been almost a year since the community centres were included in UNESCO’s list for keeping good practices for safeguarding immaterial cultural heritage. In that regard, there is the necessity of state policy concerning the development of these purely Bulgarian cultural centres via good practices and the legal power of the local administration processes.
