Abstract

The study delves deeply into the historical contexts of the countries involved,

examining how the idea of cultural heritage and its protection under

international law has changed through the years and in various social,

economic, and political climates. When preserving cultural assets under

public international law, we also consider the humanitarian aspect of this

phenomenon. The study examines whether people and groups limit a state's

power to act beyond limitations imposed by other states and international

organizations. This research further examines the role of international

human rights laws in this setting, the preservation of the individual's

connection to cultural products, and whether or not an individual becomes a

significant player in international law. The study's findings provide

conclusive evidence of the pivotal catalytic role that UNESCO and similar

international organizations play in the worldwide preservation of cultural

heritage. UNESCO is the principal venue for monitoring whether or not

states are adhering to international protection principles. Whether or not

UNESCO can be effective without ratification processes for cultural

preservation has to be investigated more deeply. The study's findings

indicate that protecting cultural assets involves a wide range of aspects,

including the rights and responsibilities of governments and the rights of

cultures. In addition, our research suggests that the ever-evolving

international legal system can improve its framework, which is relevant to

preserving cultural treasures.
