An Introduction to Cultural Heritage Law

The book, supported jointly with the Maltese Superintendency for Cultural Heritage and Heritage Malta, attempts to bridge the gap between the laws concerning Land Use and Planning with those protecting the Cultural Heritage. This book seeks to bring together Malta's legislation relevant to these matters with the rich international texts in Treaties, Charters and Conventions. The aim is to provide the pabulum for further study and possible legislative elaboration. The book contains a number of quotations from the sources together with the author's comments in the light of his own experience as a lawyer and as a Minister.
