International Legal Mechanism for the Protection of World Cultural Heritage

Abstract

The preservation and safeguarding of world cultural heritage have become paramount in today's globalized world. To address this concern, international law has established a robust mechanism to protect and preserve these invaluable assets. The international legal mechanism for the protection of world cultural heritage is primarily governed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This article aims to explore the international legal framework that governs the protection of world cultural heritage, focusing on the mechanisms employed, the role of international organizations, and the significance of such preservation efforts.
