| The Dubrovnik Global Heritage Forum is a consultative meeting
of high representatives of the world's heritage organizations and
a discussion forum with representatives of the heritage organizations
and experts focussing on a key issue. The key issue of the 2007
Dubrovnik Global Forum will be "Reclaiming Cultural Property".
With the ratification of the UNESCO Convention for the Protection
of Cultural Diversity in more and more countries throughout the
world the awareness for the preservation of sites of cultural heritage
and collections has increased. When it comes to questions of restitution,
though, the debate often turns very emotional, lacks professional
insight and ethical standards. |
