The course is divided into two parts. After a short introduction on international law and its features, the first part aims to analyse the protection of cultural heritage, free circulation of cultural objects and fight against illicit traffic of cultural goods under international law. A special attention will be paid to the role plaid by cultural heritage to allow individuals and community to build their cultural identity: within this framework, the recognition of the right to cultural identity and of cultural rights under international human rights law will be discussed. After introducing students to the European Union law, its instruments, procedures and interplay with Italian legal order, the second part of the course gives an overview of primary and secondary EU law concerning the protection of cultural heritage and free circulation of cultural objects.
