Internship opportunity in Cambodia

03 May 2013

This summer, Tess Davis will lead Tulane University law students to the Southeast Asian Kingdom of Cambodia, where they will work to study and combat the illicit antiquities trade.

In recent years, looters have have decimated Cambodia’s archaeological heritage in search of buried treasures to sell on the global art market.  The trafficking of these artefacts has developed into a criminal industry that spans the world. To counter this plunder, the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts (MOCFA) partnered with Tulane to create an internship, through which US law students would work to better protect the kingdom’s heritage using national, foreign, and international law. The first program took place last summer in Phnom Penh.
