- Abstract
Modern crime knows no borders, and criminal groups from one country easily connect with similar groups or organizations from other countries, so that it takes on a new dimension in the criminal world. Cross-border crime has become a key security issue for policymakers and law enforcement agencies. Their efforts have increasingly shifted from the domestic scene to the international arena and transnational crime. The term transnational crime now belongs to the everyday vocabulary of not only criminologists, but also policy makers, law enforcement officials and the public. One popular thesis related to organized crime claims that the illegal trade in cultural heritagegoods is the third most typical form of illegal trade - right after drugs and firearms. According to ECOSOC the illicit trade in cultural heritagegoods is often carried out in the same criminal circles as the illicit trade in drugs, arms and other illegal activities. This paper will focus on the problem of illicit trafficking of cultural heritage items as an international crime, its concept, characteristics and international response to this crime.
