TY - JOUR TI - The Syrian Conflict and the Proposed “Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act” AU - Fincham, Derek TI - The Syrian Conflict and the Proposed “Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act” AB - The United States Congress is considering adding new legislation to its current scheme regulating Cultural Property. The proposed law, the Protect and Preserve Cultural Property Act, would create a new Coordinator and Committee and charge them with harmonizing the cultural heritage policing efforts of the United States. These changes do not alter American law in a fundamental way, but rather mark instead the subtle move towards a dedicated group tasked with enforcing, educating, and evaluating this body of cultural property law and policy in the United States.
