Proposed UNIDROIT Multilateral Treaty

(Convention) on the International

Return of Stolen or Illegally Exported

Cultural Objects; Request for Public

Comment

The International Institute for the

Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT)

and the Government of Italy have

scheduled a diplomatic conference for

June, 1995 which will seek to conclude

the draft convention prepared under

UNIDROIT auspices on the International

Return of Stolen or Illegally Exported

Cultural Objects. The Department seeks

public comment and recommendations

on this draft convention.

UNIDROIT has undertaken this effort

at the request of the United Nations

Educational, Scientific and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO). The proposed

UNIDROIT convention does not affect

rights and obligations arising under the

1970 UNESCO convention on the

protection of cultural property, to which

the United States is a party.

The proposed UNIDROIT convention

has essentially two parts, the first

covering claims for the international

return of stolen objects which may be

brought by individual parties; the

second covering claims by States for

return of illegally exported objects. The

Department has stated that the

convention could only apply

prospectively with regard to any claims

for return made in the United States.

Commentators on the draft convention

should also take into account the

following: First, there is no commitment

by any federal agency at this stage to

support U.S. ratification of this

proposed convention; that

determination can only be made after a

final convention text is available.

Second, ratification by the Untied States

would need to be accompanied by

federal implementing legislation which

would further define and clarify what

rights can be enforced and in what

manner. In the event such legislation is

proposed in the future, public comment

would be sought at that time on all

matters to be covered by such

legislation.

The draft convention and additional

treaty technical provisions are available

from the Office of the Assistant Legal

Adviser for Private International Law

(L/PIL), 2100 K Street, NW., room 501,

Washington, DC 20037–7180.

Additional available documentation

includes a report on the fourth intergovernmental drafting session and an

explanatory report prepared by the

Secretariat which does not necessarily

reflect the views of participating States.

Comments on the draft convention

from persons requesting these

documents should be received not later

than April 15. For further information,

contact Harold S. Burman, Executive

Director, Advisory Committee on

Private International Law, at the above

address or by fax at (202) 653–9854.

Assistant Legal Adviser for Private

International Law.
