非物质文化遗产跨国保护的法律对策

On Legal Measures of Transnational Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage

虽然国际社会对非物质文化遗产的保护进行了相关的立法,但是由于非物质文化遗产本身的特性和各国立法理念的差异,非物质文化遗产的跨国保护一直没有形成有效的机制,以至于出现了跨国侵犯非物质文化遗产权益的现象。我国拥有丰富的非物质文化遗产以及收集、保护的传统,同样面临着不断被外国组织或团体侵犯非物质文化遗产权益的现状。我国应当借鉴他国立法经验,进一步完善相关立法,积极参与国际规则的制定,提升非物质文化遗产的跨国保护水平。

Although treaties on the protection of intangible cultural heritage have been drawn up by international communities, partly because of the intrinsic characteristics of this heritage and the variety of different countries＇ legal ideas, there has been no mechanism got to common acceptance or put into effect. One consequence of this deficiency is transnational violations of this heritage. Although China has a rich source of intangible cultural heritage and has formed a good tradition of collecting and protecting it, as other countries, it is being faced with transnational violations of this treasure. To solve this problem, we should on one side transplant the effective legislation practices in foreign countries and try to improve our legal system; on the other, we should also take active part in drawing up international rules so as to heighten the practice of protection.
