Vidineev D.I. The role of non-judicial means of dispute resolution on the return of cultural values

Abstract: Currently, the majority of the disputes on the cultural values are being reviewed by the national courts; at the same time, the aforementioned disputes are regularly being resolved via such mechanism as “negotiations”. The author examines the importance of negotiations representing the non-judicial means of dispute settlement on the restoration of the cultural values. This work analyzes the multilateral conventions with regards to the cultural values, bilateral agreements between the states (including between the states and museums), world treaties between the states, museums and private parties, and the decisions of the national courts. The disputes, associated with the requirements on restitution or restoration of the cultural values, are being reviewed. The author concludes that currently both, the judicial and non-judicial means of dispute settlement such as negotiations, can be applied for the effective conflict resolution pertaining to the cultural values; however, the return of the works of art located in foreign territories has to be achieved by the virtue of negotiations between the two subjects of the dispute, first and foremost, between the states.
