缅甸文化遗产保护法律体系的建构

Abstract:Cultural heritage is a storage of a nation’s collective memory and an important part of national culture. Protecting cultural heritage is an important way to enhance national identity，national self-esteem and pride. The fundamental way to achieve long-term protection of cultural heritage is making protective law. Myanmar society has a cultural tradition of protecting cultural heritage. During the British colonial period，the Colonial Government began to protect its cultural heritage through legislative approach. Since independence，Myanmar’s cultural heritage protection legislation has gone through four main stages：initiation，stagnation，development and improvement. As a consequence，Myanmar has basically constructed a legal system for the protection of cultural heritage now. Myanmar has taken an active part in the protection of international cultural heritage，as well as made efforts to promote the inclusion of cultural heritage projects in international protection lists. That has further promoted the construction and development of this legal system. In the future，with the deepening and development of protection work，Myanmar’s cultural heritage protection legal system will be further improved.
