      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive overview of  international cultural heritage law from the perspectives  of non-state actors (NSAs). In keeping with the significant  developments concerning the status and roles of NSAs in  international law over the last century, NSAs such as  communities, experts, NGOs, and international organizations  have become important participants in the implementation of  international cultural heritage conventions. Indeed, due to  the emergence of new ideas on common heritage and cultural  rights in the 20th century, international cultural heritage  law has become inconsistent with States' claim to sole  authority regarding the protection of cultural heritage.  The author analyzes the texts of international cultural  heritage conventions, as well as their operational texts,  to track essential changes in the rights, obligations, and  roles of NSAs since the mid-20th century. Practical cases  on the status and roles of NSAs are introduced to glean  empirical ideas and facilitate an in-depth understanding of  their effectiveness. The analysis reveals that NSAs do have  certain rights and responsibilities concerning the  implementation of cultural heritage conventions, and their  roles have been increasingly recognized. At the same time,  however, discrepancies between text and practice can be  observed when it comes to the status and roles of NSAs.  They have emerged for various reasons, one of which is the  politicization of conventions' governance. Adopting the  standpoint of the NSAs, the book emphasizes the need to  explore innovative and practical mechanisms that will allow  NSAs to attain their proper status and take on practical  roles under international cultural heritage law, which will  in turn ensure the sustainable protection of cultural  heritage. This message becomes more pertinent to the  current conflicts where various tensions between states and  NSAs have arisen and the roles of NSAs have become more  important. Given its scope, the book will be of special  interest to students, researchers and professionals at  government and non-government organizations in the fields  of heritage, the arts, law, administration, and  development.},
