National legal bases

Information portal of the People's Republic of China

Regulation for the Implementation of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics 2003

Rules for the Review and Approval of Entry and Exit of Cultural Objects, issued by the Ministry of Culture

The multilingual UNESCO Database of National Cultural Heritage Laws provides access to the relevant national legal bases. Another source of information on national cultural asset protection laws is the Sharing Electronic Resources and Laws On Crime (SHERLOC) of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

This State Party to the UNESCO Convention of 14 November 1970 is also a State Party to the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegaly Exported Cultural Objects, which entered into force on 1 July 1998. The national legal bases are therefore also partially provided by the WIPO database.
