Potential Cooperation between China and Sri Lanka in the Field of Underwater Cultural Heritage Protection: A Comparative Study of the Legislation of the Two States

摘要


China shares a lot in common with Sri Lanka in the field of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) protection. Both States have a long history of maritime navigation and possess rich cultural heritage in their surrounding waters. Yet neither State has the ability to ensure protection of all wrecks in its waters. The two States were once connected by the Maritime Silk Road and traces of this once prosperous trade could still be found in Sri Lanka. In the context of building up the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, these two States have great potential to cooperate in the protection of UCH which poses a common challenge to all States along the Maritime Silk Road. Focusing on the legislation of both States with respect to the protection of UCH, this paper aims to compare relevant Sri Lankan laws with Chinese laws and further to ensure that there is no obstacle for Sino-Sir Lankan cooperation at the legislative level.
