Droga do Konwencji UNIDROIT z 1995 roku oraz jej podstawowe rozwiązania

The subject of this paper is an analysis of the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention, preceded by an introductory paragraph presenting earlier attempts at similar solutions undertaken by the international community. The absolute duty of returning a stolen cultural good is then discussed, followed by a reference to the limitation dates and indemnity payable to the buyer who has exercised due care while purchasing the work of art. Certain specific solutions are also presented. A similar analysis is then made in respect of the possessor of a stolen or illegally exported cultural good. Some recommendations for improvements to the solutions of the Convention are proposed.
