Legal Liability for Violation of Romania’s Legislation Regarding the Protection of Historical Monuments, an Integral Part of the National Cultural Heritage

Romania's legal framework for protecting historical monuments, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Monastery of Horezu, establishes criminal and administrative liabilities to prevent their destruction or damage. The study reveals that current legislation effectively criminalizes antisocial behaviors threatening cultural heritage, aiming to preserve these irreplaceable assets for future generations. While the research confirms the existence of protective norms, it also highlights gaps in enforcement and suggests areas for improving legal mechanisms. By analyzing existing laws, their application, and emerging trends, this work underscores the critical role of legal safeguards in safeguarding Romania's national cultural heritage from irreversible loss.
