商品描述
The Parthenon marbles case is the most famous international cultural heritage dispute concerning repatriation of looted antiquities, the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum's 'Elgin Collection'. The case has polarised observers ever since Elgin had the marbles hacked out of the ancient temple at the turn of the 19th century in Ottoman-occupied Athens. In 1816, a debt-stricken Elgin sold the marbles to the British government, which subsequently entrusted them to the British Museum, where they have remained since then.
Much ink has been spilled on the Parthenon marbles. The ethical and cultural merits of their repatriation have been fiercely debated for years. But what has generally not been considered are the legal merits of their return in light of contemporary international law. This book is the first in legal scholarship to provide an international law perspective of the cause célèbre of international cultural heritage disputes and, in doing so, toclarify the new customary international law on the return of cultural property unlawfully removed from its original context.
The book, which includes a foreword by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, is a unique reference work on the legal case for the return of the Parthenon marbles and the new normative framework for the protection of cultural heritage.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
帕德农神庙雕塑案是最著名的国际文化遗产争议,涉及被掠夺的古代文物帕德农神庙雕塑,这些雕塑现存于大英博物馆的“埃尔金收藏”。自从埃尔金在19世纪初从奥斯曼帝国占领的雅典古庙中砍下这些雕塑以来,这个案件就一直引起观察者的分歧。1816年,负债累累的埃尔金将这些雕塑卖给了英国政府,随后英国政府将其托付给大英博物馆,至今仍然展示在那里。
关于帕德农神庙雕塑,已经有大量的文字涉及。多年来,关于它们归还的伦理和文化价值一直激烈争论不休。但通常没有考虑到的是,根据当代国际法的法律价值,它们的归还是否合法。本书是法学研究领域中首部从国际法角度探讨国际文化遗产争议的法律视角,并在此过程中阐明了关于非法移出原始环境的文化财产归还的新习惯国际法。
本书包括安德鲁·华莱士-哈德里尔的前言,是关于帕德农神庙雕塑归还的法律案例和文化遗产保护的新规范框架的独特参考工作。
