The Coordination Board of the research platform „Hector. Heritage, Culture, Norms”, held at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, invites you to participate in the fourth project seminar entitled “Heritage Restitution: Goals, Rules and Queries”.
The seminar will focus on various matters concerning law and procedure for restoring looted cultural property. Apart from covering the general spectrum of law-based actions, the participants will also delve into the most heated ongoing debates regarding processes of politically based returns of heritage (such as the Benin bronzes), the return of mummified human remains or the effects of territorial state succession on the cultural property (in cases such as the Crimean gold).

The guests will be:
Prof. Vincent R. Johnson (St. Mary's University School of Law, USA) with the paper
“Protecting and Transferring Cultural Assets”
Dr Andrzej Jakubowski (Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Science, Poland) with the paper
“State Succession to Responsibility for Cultural Wrongs”.

The event will be held in a hybrid format: on-site in the conference room at the JU Student Zone (Strefa Studencka UJ) (św. Anny Street 6 in Cracow) and via the MS TEAMS platform - on the 8th December 2023 (Friday) at 13:00 to 15:00.
If you are interested in taking part in this seminar, we would kindly ask you to fill in the registration form: https://forms.office.com/e/nEabYStpaT
