Critical Review of Pakistani Current Legislation on Sustainable Protection of Cultural Heritage

Pakistan's current legislation on cultural heritage, rooted in British colonial-era frameworks with limited post-independence updates, remains the cornerstone for protecting archaeological sites and monuments like Takht-i-Bahi. However, the study highlights a critical gap: while these laws are comprehensive and universally applicable, they lack sufficient amendments or modernized guidelines to address contemporary threats to heritage preservation effectively. The research emphasizes an urgent need for advanced management policies that bridge historical legality with sustainable practices, ensuring these sites—symbols of Pakistan's past—endure for future generations.
