The Government of Australia declares that Australia is not at present in a position
to oblige antique dealers, subject to penal or administrative sanctions, to maintain
a register recording the origin of each item of cultural property, names and addresses
of the supplier, description and price of each item sold and to inform the purchaser
of the cultural property of the export prohibition to which such property may be subject.
Australia therefore accepts the Convention subject to a reservation as to Article
10, to the extent that it is unable to comply with the obligations imposed by that
Article.

The instrument contained the following temporary reservation: "until further decision,

The property designated as "of importance for archaeology, prehistory, history, literature,
art or science", in accordance with Article 1 of the Convention, are the properties
covered by the Danish legislation concerning protection of cultural assets and the
Danish Museum Act.
Act on Protection of Cultural Assets in Denmark
The Act on Protection of Cultural Assets in Denmark came into force on 1 January 1987.
According to section 2(1) in the Act on Protection of Cultural Assets in Denmark the
Act applies to the following cultural assets which are not publicly owned:
o cultural objects of the period before 1660;
o cultural objects older than 100 years and valued at DKK 100,000 or more;
o photographs (regardless of age) if they have a value of DKK 30,000 or more.
In exceptional cases the Minister of Culture can decide that the Act is also applicable
to other objects of cultural interest.
Coins and medals are the only cultural objects explicitly exempted from the regulations
of the Act.
The above-mentioned assets must not be exported from Denmark without permission from
the Commission on Export of Cultural Assets.
Museum Act
According to section 28 of the Museum Act, any person who finds an ancient relic or
monument, including shipwrecks, cargo or parts of such wrecks, which at any time must
be assumed lost more than 100 years ago, in watercourses, in lakes, in territorial
waters or on the continental shelf, but not beyond 24 nautical miles from the base
lines from which the width of outer territorial waters is measured, shall immediately
notify the Minister of Culture. Such objects shall belong to the State, unless any
person proves that he or she is the rightful owner. Any person who gathers up an object
belonging to the State, and any person who gains possession of such an object, shall
immediately deliver it to the Minister of Culture.
According to section 30 of the Museum Act objects of the past, including coins found
in Denmark, of which no one can prove to be the rightful owner, shall be treasure
trove (danefæ) if made of valuable material or being of a special cultural heritage
value. Treasure trove shall belong to the State. Any person who finds treasure trove,
and any person who gains possession of treasure trove, shall immediately deliver it
to the National Museum of Denmark.
According to section 31 of the Museum Act, a geological object or a botanical or zoological
object of a fossil or sub-fossil nature or a meteorite found in Denmark is fossil
trove (danekræ) if the object is of unique scientific or exhibitional value. Fossil
trove shall belong to the State. Any person who finds fossil trove, and any person,
who gains possession of fossil trove, shall immediately deliver it to the Danish Museum
of Natural History.

The Republic of Guatemala, mindful that, in conformity with the Fundamental Statute
of Government, monuments and archaeological vestiges are the property of the nation
and that, furthermore, national law prohibits the unauthorized export of property
constituting its cultural wealth, makes an express reservation concerning paragraph
(b) (ii) of Article 7 of the Convention to the effect that it does not consider itself
obliged to pay any compensation to any person or persons holding cultural property
that has been looted or stolen in Guatemala or exported illicitly to another State
Party and that, at the request of the Government of Guatemala, has been the subject
of appropriate steps for its confiscation and/or restitution by that other State Party.
In any case, the Republic of Guatemala does not consider that the purchase of property
forming part of its cultural wealth is in good faith solely through having been made
in ignorance of the law.

The Government of the United Mexican States has studied the text of the comments and
reservations on the convention on the means of prohibiting and preventing the illicit
import, export and transfer of ownership of cultural property made by the United States
of America on 20 June 1983. It has reached the conclusion that these comments and
reservations are not compatible with the purposes and aims of the Convention, and
that their application would have the regrettable result of permitting the import
into the United States of America of cultural property and its re-export to other
countries, with the possibility that the cultural heritage of Mexico might be affected.

civil or penal, available under the laws of the States parties for the recovery of
