Does title to an ancient sunken vessel give the owner the right to destroy or severely damage it in the process of recovering coins or other artifacts for sale? Law around the world, domestic and international, is adapting to this relatively recent widespread concern with the fate of the world's underwater cultural heritage (UCH) as more and more ancient wrecks are being discovered on the ocean floor. In the process, the very concept of ownership is shifting, to recognize the public interest in what is being increasingly recognized as a part of the common heritage of mankind. The American Rule, often characterized as \"finders keepers,\" is still the general rule in pure law of finds cases, but courts are increasingly reluctant to apply this law of finds to underwater cultural heritage because of the implications of outright ownership by private individuals or companies.

In three distinct volumes the editors bring together a distinguished group of contributors whose essays chart the history, practice, and future of international humanitarian law.

The other volumes in this set are International Humanitarian Law: Origins and International Humanitarian Law: ChallengesPublished under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
