November 14th
November 14th is the Day Against Illicit Trafficking in Cultural Property . This date was established by UNESCO in 2010 and aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting cultural heritage and combating illicit trafficking in cultural property, which represents a serious violation of cultural rights and a challenge to the identity of nations and peoples. Illicit trafficking in cultural property includes the illegal sale and export of artifacts, works of art, antiquities and other items of cultural value. This illicit trade is often associated with criminal activities such as terrorism and drug trafficking, and poses a significant threat to the preservation of the world's cultural heritage.
