Indonesian Cultural Property carries huge monetary value, thus raising the demand to acquire it through illegal means such as the black market continues to increase. To stop these practices, the international legal community agreed upon two essential conventions such as The UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of
Cultural Property and UNIDROIT 1995 Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. However, Indonesia has yet to ratify both conventions. This legal study aims to utilize a normative approach towards current legal protection of cultural property through case studies and literary resources. The study concludes that in general Law Number 11 of the Year 2010 on Cultural Property has
subsequent regulations to the existing international standards. Some aspects, such as import and export restrictions and inter-organization or inter-state cooperation are still scarce. The implementation of laws and governmental policies are also not proliferated along with lacking necessary funding.
