Abstract

By nature, humans have always been interested in preserving and preserving the works and objects left by their predecessors and have tried to preserve them in various ways. The existence of laws such as inheritance, criminalization of destruction, smuggling, counterfeiting, etc. in domestic documents, and the provision of international protection for these properties in the form of conventions, treaties, and other related laws, all indicate the attention and concern of human societies to the protection and preservation of these works; works that, in a general and comprehensive sense, can be called "cultural heritage" and defined as all works left by the past that have cultural value. The term culture in the aforementioned definition also contains a general concept and includes all matters that are considered human achievements, whether they have a religious or national background and are the cause of their distinction and superiority over other beings. With such a definition, the concept of cultural heritage is expanded and includes material and spiritual works, such as ancient, historical, religious, religious and national monuments, etc., or intangible assets such as customs, traditions, culture, etc. The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, has searched and scrutinized legal and criminal laws and presented a logical interpretation of these laws and the views of jurists in this regard, in addition to examining the possibility of a criminal response to violations of cultural heritage and filling the gaps in this field.
