Safeguarding Cultural Heritage in the 21st Century | PROGRAM
“We tend to use the terms money and wealth interchangeably – leaving no simple means to differentiate money from real wealth. Money is just a number. Real wealth, however, is fertile land, buildings, traditions, language, virtues, way of life and all those things that sustain us and our community.” These sentences of a court judgement reveal one of the principal reasons of human existence: the instinctive desire to maintain and pass on to future generations the inherited values and assets, ideas, beliefs, ways of life and knowledge; with one word: cultural wealth. However, while communities have always confronted the difficulties of preserving their cultural resources, including their monuments but also non-tangible cultural assets, this question has moved at the forefront of legal debates in recent years. Is there a relation between the constitution, identity and cultural heritage? What contemporary pressures are countries and communities facing in preserving their own cultural heritage? What is the role of international and domestic law in preserving culture? In aiming to address these questions, the international conference sheds light on and tries to map the multifaceted concept of cultural heritage.
