Cultural Property Disputes Worldwide

Below, an interactive world map illustrating the relative frequency of nations’ involvement, as complainant or respondent, in cultural property disputes. The darker the shade of a given nation, the more frequent the involvement. Readers can hover over and select (click on) any nation to obtain more specific information about the frequency of involvement in these disputes. Scroll to below the map to see this more detailed information. The map will be dynamically updated to reflect metadata of ongoing additions to the case collection. Additional enhancements to the map will be forthcoming.
