EFFICIENCY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION The questions below relate to the implementation of paragraph 3 of the Decision 5.SC 6 bis with regard to the efficiency in the implementation of the Convention. 1) How does your country wish to improve the implementation of the Convention (please elaborate briefly). Colombia s Government has been implementing UNESCO 1970 Convention through the National Program to Prevent and Counteract the illicit traffic of cultural heritage, jointly implementing the National Campaign against illicit trafficking, and promoting, at the time, the signing of two inter-administrative agreements between National authorities, first in 2005 and secondly in 2017. These Agreements are implemented by a Committee, responsible for executing actions and strategies. In addition, training is being carried out to entities that are part of the Agreement to sensitize officials on the care and protection of heritage. In this way, the implementation of the Convention in the country is being improved. In accordance with the above, Colombia proposes to continue this strengthening task through activities such as: - Outreach campaigns in effective media of global and local character. - Raise Awareness Workshops of Colombian cultural heritage (archaeological, paleontological, geological, archival, documentary, historical and artistic) and the laws that protect it, aimed at different target audiences: children and young people in schools, colleges, museums and universities and officials of national entities such as National Police, DIAN, Aeronautics and territorial entities (departmental and local) in order to generate a sense of belonging to this heritage. - Knowledge Exchange and specific cases between countries to build and improve protocols for the prevention and mitigation of illicit trafficking in Colombian cultural heritage (archaeological, paleontological, geological, archival, documentary, historical and artistic). 2) Which pillar(s) of the Convention should be given priority in terms of strengthening the implementation? (please tick the box(es) and provide explanations if need be). ( x ) Prevention ( x ) Return and Restitution 2

Due to the difficulty that the Colombian Government has encountered in demonstrating the illicit exit of a good in times prior to the entry into force of the 1970 Convention, Colombia would like to know cases like those of Peru and Mexico to see in them what mechanisms are used For this end. ( x ) International Cooperation ( ) other 3) Does your country have any specific proposals and examples regarding the strengthening of the implementation and efficiency of the 1970 Convention?

Ministry of Culture, leads the Convention 2. Ministry of Foreign Affairs 3. National Attorney General's Office 4. Office of the Attorney General of the Nation 5. Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History 6. General Archive of the Nation 7. Directorate of National Taxes and Customs. 8. National Police of Colombia 9. Civil Aeronautics 10. Universidad Externado de Colombia 11. National Service of Learning - Sena 5

12. International Council of Museums - ICOM Colombia. 13. Colombian Geological Service These entities have direct participation in the tables established by the Illicit Trafficking Committee of the Ministry of Culture Repatriation Board; Cooperation Table; Training and Dissemination Table; Crime Classification Table; Illegal Trade Bureau. Awareness and training programs in different cities of the country, on basic principles of archeology, heritage, identification, legal protection regime, procedures and manipulation of archaeological materials directed to different units of the police (tourism, airport), customs officials, civil aeronautics, tourism agencies, museum staff, parish priests, teachers, craftsmen and managers, among others. In view of the international commitments acquired by Colombia for the protection, conservation and dissemination of Colombian cultural heritage (archaeological, paleontological, geological, archival, documentary, historical and artistic), important advances have been made in the recovery of archaeological assets that have irregularly left the national territory. Therefore, the ICANH, as the highest authority in the matter, is part of multiple national and international spaces for the consolidation and promotion of a policy of protection and repatriation of archaeological properties. For the integral development of such activities, the ICANH participates in the different permanent committees created through the Agreement 1881-01 of 2005 (renewed in 2017) and in at least 4 lines of action, namely: The participation and formulation of policies against illicit trafficking, conceptualization for the conclusion of bilateral cooperation agreements The repatriation of archaeological pieces; The Seizure and relevant criminal actions; The classification of crimes against archaeological heritage Likewise, it participates, conceptualizes and exposes the institutional interests in the construction of bilateral and multilateral agreements, contributions in the construction of documents with national and / or international impact on the illicit trafficking of archaeological goods. The participation of the Institute is specified in the projection and presentation of documents before the competent authorities in order to comply with the procedures 6

and others required to achieve the repatriation and effective delivery of archaeological pieces, either by voluntary delivery procedures or by means of judicial process in which the ICANH makes part as an entity in charge of the protection, custody, conservation and disclosure of the Archaeological Heritage of the Nation. In the context of seizures and purchases controlled by the judicial police bodies, which are part of the criminal proceedings carried out for illicit trafficking and whose classification is framed in the crimes of aggravated robbery and reception, the ICANH legal office must be constituted as a party within of these processes as victim and even act in pursuit of rights of other countries within the framework of bilateral agreements signed by Colombia. The ICANH has been participating in the tables set up by the Ministry of Culture for the management of illicit traffic, supporting the legal configuration of the 1881 Convention of 2005, as well as the subscription and validity of various agreements b) Return and Restitution: Below, please find some recent successful repatriation cases: Repatriation - Caso Escrucería - 2014. Recovery of 691 archaeological pieces, seized by the Government of Spain in 2003. Restitution - 2016: Return of (6) pieces belonging to the archaeological heritage of Peru, which were voluntarily delivered to ICANH by a Colombian citizen in January 2016. Restitution - 2016: Return of (26) pieces belonging to the archaeological heritage of Ecuador, which were delivered voluntarily to ICANH by a Colombian citizen in January 2016. Restitution - 2016: Return of (15) pieces belonging to the archaeological heritage of Ecuador, which were seized by the Police in Bogota in 2011. Santa Ana Religious sculpture returned from Ecuador (July 2015). c) International Cooperation: As an example, it could be mentioned that Colombia has signed bilateral instruments with countries such as Mexico, China, the United States, Peru, Ecuador, Switzerland, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama and the Dominican Republic, in order to safeguard the cultural heritage, as a result of which restitutions have been successfully achieved from and to Peru, Ecuador and the United States. 7

d) Other 4) With regard to Return and Restitution, does your country have any suggestions regarding the interaction between the Subsidiary Committee and the Intergovernmental Committee for Promoting the Return of Cultural Property to its Countries of Origin or its Restitution in case of Illicit Appropriation (ICPRCP)? Colombia proposes that the Intergovernmental Committee request to the subsidiary to hold seminars, workshops, and training activities, to facilitate the implementation of the Convention, accordingly to the Subsidiary Committee Operational Guidelines. 5) Considering the momentum gained through the establishment of the Meeting of the States Parties, the creation of the Subsidiary Committee and the adoption of Operational Guidelines for the implementation of the Convention, how could these governing bodies be better utilized in order to strengthen the Convention and support States Parties interests? In general terms, it can be stated that the work done during the last periods has been adequate. Therefore, it is considered important to continue with the committee's policies such as: Promote the objectives of the Convention Review the national reports submitted to the General Conference by the States Parties to the Convention Prepare and submit to the Meeting of States Parties recommendations and guidelines that may assist in the implementation of the Convention Identify difficult situations resulting from the implementation of the Convention, including issues related to the protection and return of cultural property Establish and maintain coordination with the "Committee on Return and Restitution" in relation to the adoption of measures to combat the illicit traffic of cultural goods Inform the Meeting of the States Parties of the activities that have been implemented However, in a particular way it is important to mention that, although the Operational Guidelines of the Convention were created in 2015, there is still a wide ignorance about the application of the same in matters of restitution and repatriation, which is why it is necessary that the States Parties know in depth this tool and how it can be used for the benefit of the protection of the Colombian cultural heritage (archaeological, paleontological, geological, archival, documentary, historical and artistic). It would be important to share successful experiences and good practices based on the application of the Guidelines. 8

6) How useful in your experience, are the existing legal and practical tools 1 produced by the Secretariat? Do you have proposals for possible future deliverables by the Secretariat? If so, would you be prepared to provide resources to deliver them? Practical tools: In the case of Colombia, the export authorization certificate for cultural goods has been implemented since 2014, which has benefited the entities that protect the cultural heritage and the customs authorities. In relation to the archaeological heritage in Colombia, the practical tools developed by the Secretariat of the Convention have not been necessary. The other tools have not been implemented. Finally, it is proposed to continue discussions on practical tools on a permanent basis, given that countries have different legal frameworks for protection. It would be advisable for UNESCO to build a web consultation tool for countries to publish their red lists and be easy to update and accessible to all Member States. 7) Do you have further suggestions to improve the dissemination of the tools produced by the UNESCO Secretariat? It is important to train the institutions that have the responsibility to implement the 1970 UNESCO Convention, so that the tools created by the Secretariat can be put into practice. 8) Once a tool is produced to support the implementation of the Convention, endorsed by the relevant governing bodies, what steps should be taken by the national authorities in order to ensure that all relevant governmental or related experts are aware of the existence of the tool and make use of it? It is up to the states parties to make effective the knowledge in all their competent bodies for the proper implementation of the tools and guidelines of the UNESCO Convention for the protection of the Colombian Cultural Heritage (archaeological, paleontological, geological, archival, documentary, historical and artistic) In the Colombian case, the National Program to Prevent and Counter the Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture, which has been 1 Practical tools : Model Export Certificate for Cultural Objects (UNESCO WCO); UNESCO International Code of Ethics for Dealers in Cultural Property; UNESCO Database National Cultural Heritage Laws Basic Actions concerning Cultural Objects being offered for sale over the Internet (INTERPOL UNESCO ICOM) Legal tools: Model Provisions on State Ownership of Undiscovered Cultural Objects; Rules of Procedure for Mediation and Conciliation 9

implemented since 1997, dictates measures that must be adopted to prohibit and prevent the import and export of illegal property of cultural property. In the development of the actions of this program, in 2005 the Interadministrative Agreement n 1881-01-05 was signed (between the Ministry of Culture, the ICANH and eleven public and private entities of the national order) in order to prevent and counteract illicit trafficking in cultural heritage. This cooperation agreement, renewed in 2017, seeks to articulate different sectors and institutions to plan, consolidate and develop processes that enable actions to combat crimes that attack cultural property. This agreement has made it possible for the responsible entities to have effective knowledge of the laws and the tools for this protection. However, as indicated in the previous question, it is necessary to train the entities or authorities responsible for the protection of cultural heritage, since in this way the implementation in each State will be fruitful. As for the Colombian case, there are different work tables in which these tools could be applied. Colombia considers it pertinent that tools be created for the standardization of customs traceability procedures. 9) Have you or other stakeholders in your country benefited from capacity-building activities/tools related to preventing illicit trafficking of cultural property developed by the Secretariat? If so, give examples and indicate briefly the resulting effect or change. Concerning tools, Yes. Through the export certificate of cultural goods, the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History has benefited, the Ministry of Culture and soon the Colombian Geological Service, who is the entity that protects the paleontological and geological heritage. Likewise, to the customs entities that control the import and export of cultural goods to the country. Similarly, the examples3 of cases that have been identified worldwide by the Secretariat serve Colombia as a model to improve management possibilities and to adopt optimal mechanisms of heritage protection. Concerning training developed by the Secretary of the Convention, no. 10) Do you have suggestions for how the capacity-building programme could be further improved, should financial resources be available? - It is recognized the importance that the states parties can improve their response capacity, specifically to identify and stop the illicit trafficking of pieces of archaeological heritage, through the improvement of dissemination and training mechanisms that are already under development, but it's worth improving them with new technologies. - A proposal of good practice that can help improve the construction of capacities within the framework of the Convention is the circulation and dissemination of the Red List managed by ICOM Colombia, which consists of an awareness campaign 10

aimed at tourists on objects Colombians likely to be targets of illicit trafficking. In this sense, it is relevant to collect the memory of this type of initiatives to establish them as a reference. It can also be very useful: - Review the procedure manuals of other countries for cases of illicit trafficking and repatriation of cultural goods to socialize them. - Review what cases or tools each Entity can offer at a national level on good practices to share with other countries. - Identify existing gaps with the aim of proposing new good practices. - Request that the other States Parties also present cases successfully resolved within the framework of the Convention to be taken as reference. - Raise the need to know the experiences of other countries in terms of technological tools to prevent the illicit traffic of cultural goods (registration codes, etc.) - Deepen training and socialization campaigns of the Convention to judicial bodies, the police and other interested parties. The Ministry of Culture emphasizes that the issue of prosecutors and judges is addressed in the training part. - Establish a protocol that clearly defines the functions of each Entity within the Committee for cases of illicit trafficking and repatriation of cultural property. - Prepare a Catalog of good practices that compiles the successful cases of all States parties. This catalog would have the purpose of having this information documented for consultation and analysis. Likewise, this publication could make visible in a concrete way the progress made in this area to contribute equally to the commitment to render a global report in 2018. VISIBILITY AND PROMOTION OF THE CONVENTION The questions below pertain to the implementation of paragraph 3 of the Decision 5.SC 6 bis with regard to the visibility of the Convention. 11) What steps have been taken by your national authorities to promote the Convention and its implementation in your country? The measures that have been adopted to implement the 1970 Convention in the country, have been made through the Cooperation Agreement to prevent and counteract the illicit traffic of cultural goods, to this Convention belong entities and / or authorities such as: 1) Ministry of Culture, leads the Convention 2) Ministry of Foreign Affairs 3) Procuraduria General de la Nación 4) Office of the Attorney General of the Nation 5) Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History 6) General Archive of the Nation 7) Directorate of Taxes and National Customs. 8) Colombian National Police 9) Civil Aeronautics 10) Externado University of Colombia 11

11) National Service of Learning - Sena 12) International Council of Museums - ICOM Colombia. 13) Colombian Geological Service This Committee meets every six months in ordinary session, and when extraordinary is necessary. In addition, there are five working groups, in which different actions are developed for the protection of cultural heritage, taking into account the guidelines established by Unesco: 1. National and international cooperation table 2. Repatriation table 3. Training and awareness table 4. Crime typing table 5. Illegal trade table 12) Does your country have any proposals regarding the improvement of the visibility and further promotion of the Convention including through the following organs/activities? a) ) Statutory bodies: Permanent review of the legislation of the states parties that are consistent with the provisions of the Convention. Capacity-building activities: it is proposed to Unesco to train the entities in charge of the protection of cultural heritage, to deepen more about the practical and legal tools, Operational Guidelines and the application of the 1970 Convention. Colombian case, the training to customs and police entities. Awareness-raising activities: Awareness and training workshops on the Colombian archaeological heritage and the laws that protect it, aimed at different communities: mainly children and young people in schools, colleges and universities in order to generate belonging to this heritage. Education material and activities: it is proposed to share also the experiences that other countries have had in the topics related to the elaboration of didactic material so that it can be disseminated in the different entities or regions where the cultural assets are located. Publications: It is proposed that the Spanish language be included so that the publications found on the Unesco website have greater access to the Spanish-speaking population, which will benefit the Latin American and Caribbean region. Printed devices for educational entities of the young population. 12

Online resources and web-pages: that the information on the page is available in Spanish. Awareness campaigns on the Convention have been carried out for tourists, mainly at airports, and the dissemination of Colombia's red list in alliance with the museum entities and the Ministry of Culture of Colombia, in association with ICOM, and the other entities of the Intersectorial Commission. Permanent publication of the results of the activities carried out within the National Program to Prevent Counter the Illicit Trafficking of the Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture. b) Media Does your country benefit from the information and links available on the 1970 Convention webpage. Do you find information to be easily accessible and useful? If no, how would you recommend the Secretariat to develop its webpage? Yes, the information on the web page is useful and of easy access, however it is recommended: 1. That all information is available in Spanish. 2. That the information is periodically updated. 3. Contains information and/or news from all countries. c) Please provide any additional suggestions to increase the visibility of the Convention. Create working groups led by UNESCO in each region, with the aim of establishing strategies to prevent illicit trafficking, generate alliances and raise awareness of the 1970 UNESCO Convention and its tools. The identification of common problems in the regions will facilitate the search for joint solutions between countries. The entities part of the Inter-Institutional Cooperation Agreement to prevent the illicit traffic of the Cultural Heritage, could include on their local website the information of the convention page. CAPACITY BUILDING AND GOOD PRACTICES The questions below pertain to the implementation of paragraph 3 of the Decision 5.SC 6 bis with regard to the opportunity to establish a List of Good Practices. 15) Does your country maintain a List of Good Practices pertaining to the implementation of the Convention? If yes, which criteria are used to establish such a national List? 13

Colombia does not have a list of good practices. However, The ICANH is preparing a manual of good practices and will be disseminated and socialized to enter into implementation. 16) Does your country inform the Secretariat on national good practices concerning the protection of cultural property? 17) ( ) yes ( X) no 18) What in your view should be the criteria and assessment mechanism for a possible international list? Those cases in which the Convention has been definitive for the restitution of cultural heritage assets (archaeological, paleontological, geological, archival, documentary, historical and artistic) 19) Does your country support the idea of the creation of an international list on the best practices of return and restitution cases? ( x) yes ( ) no 20) How could Good Practices be better integrated in capacity building initiatives to strengthen the implementation of the Convention? This list, for example, would give concrete foundation for countries to have clear procedures in cases of repatriation. It could be integrated through manuals and roadmaps about these successful experiences. It would also be very useful to involve those who led the successful process in the development of workshops, seminars and training activities. 21) Additional Comments: 14

With the help of UNESCO, study the new dynamics of the illicit traffic of cultural property (ex: virtual auctions), routes and handling, and thus be able to face and avoid them. 15
