The European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage
TLDR
The European Convention on the Protection of the Archneological Heritage (Revised) as discussed by the authors was proposed by the Third European Conference of Ministers Responsible for the Cultural Heritage (CCMPH).Abstract:
In January 1992, 20 States signed the European Convention on the Protection of the Archneological Heritage (Revised) which is intended to replace the original Convention of 1969. Signature indicates that States agree on the actual text that was before the meeting where the Convention was considered, in this case the Third European Conference of Ministers Responsible for the Cultural Heritage. It obliges States not to do anything actively contrary to the provisions of the Convention. However, States are not bound by the Convention until they ratify it. As at June 1992 no States had yet ratified the Revised Convention, but this is understandable as it usually takes at least six months for such a process to be completed even by the most enthusiastic of States.read more
