Title
Analysis of UNESCO Best Practices of Underwater Cultural Heritage from the
perspective of marine sustainable development and challenges in 2022 New Chinese UCH Regulations
perspective of marine sustainable development and challenges in 2022 New Chinese UCH Regulations
Description
The topic of this paper fits best within this Session17, the 2001 Convention: from ‘constructive
ambiguities’ to ‘destructive misunderstandings’ ,because it summarizes the ways in which underwater
cultural heritage contributes to the sustainable development as a Marine resource through its own
inheritance and development, and suggests that China should change its legislative idea of underwater
cultural heritage.
The case studies under consideration are the latest 13 Best Practices of UNESCO 2001 Convention for
the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage, which are analyzed in three aspects: 1) legal
protection based on the legislative concept of marine resource law, 2) protection of cultural heritage
resources through long-term monitoring and dynamic classification, and 3) sharing the benefits of
cultural resources and environmental economic development.
The resources available to conduct the work include the list of Best Practices of UNESCO 2001
Convention for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage and China's newly revised version of
Regulations on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage in 2022.
The research questions are how underwater cultural heritage can contribute to the sustainable
development of the oceans through its own inheritance and development, and how China should
change its legislative idea of underwater cultural heritage. The research approaches are case review and
legal text analysis.
The results are the legal protection of underwater cultural heritage in international law with the concept
of resource law, and China’s responses.
