Underwater Cultural Heritage and Salvage Law
Angelo Merialdi is amongst the authors of the recently published book “Trends and Challenges in International Law – Selected Issues in Human Rights, Cultural Heritage, Environment and Sea” edited by Maurizio Arcari, Irini Papanicolopulu and Laura Pineschi.
His contribution “Underwater Cultural Heritage and Salvage Law” analyses some legal issues arising out of the complex and fascinating world of underwater cultural heritage exploration to conclude that, in the current legal framework, the law of salvage, as it has evolved, may contribute to the orderly performance of recovery operations, in compliance with the public interest in the conservation of underwater cultural heritage, preserving historical sites as well as the rights and interests of States and persons. https://bit.ly/3oyH4Ks
