Art Crime During Armed Conflict: Continuing Education Summer Course

This course will focus on art crime during times of armed conflict. It will examine particular crimes against art during times of war, ranging over 2000 years, from Classical Antiquity right through to the wars in Iraq/ Afghanistan, placing them in their historical contexts. It will examine the international legal responses to such crimes, and consider aspects of available private law remedies that seek to redress earlier art crimes.

He has lectured in the areas of evidence, advocacy and statutory interpretation, and is an Honorary Lecturer in Te Piringa-Faculty of Law at the University of Waikato.
