Abstract
This research delves into the examination of Law No. 91 of 2018, recognized as a groundbreaking legislative development in protection antiquities. This legislative amendment substantially escalated penalties for offenses related to antiquities, encompassed previously non-criminalized acts, broadened the definition of antiquities, and outlined administrative and preventive measures for their protection. On the other hand, on the international scale, international conventions are a means of legal protection for antiquities and heritage in general. By thoroughly studying and evaluating Amended Law No. 91 of 2018, this research paper seeks to identify both the positive aspects and potential shortcomings to improve the efficacy of this legal framework. Employing an inductive and analytical approach, the researcher analysed the amended law's articles alongside international charters focusing on the preservation of architectural heritage. These international charters served as benchmarks to highlight areas of compatibility and conflict, thus elucidating the merits and drawbacks of the amendment law. The researcher formulates a set of recommendations designed to enhance the effectiveness of this amended law based on the findings.
