Academics and practitioners from different fields will cover
interconnected topics ranging from the roles and responsibilities of
museums, cultural property protection in conflict situations, the grey
areas of the art business and the thin line between legality and
misdemeanour, outright theft and money-laundering in the cultural assets
trade, (inter)national legal means and voluntary initiatives aiming at
the  prevention of such unlawful acts and, finally, mechanisms of
recovering stolen artefacts and the negotiations surrounding their
potential repatriation.
