| Summary: |
The analysis of the legal issues raised by the Odyssey case might be addressed through various approaches: with regard to the most radical approach in terms of conflict of interest, it seems more appropriate to adopt, as starting point, a conciliatory position based on the idea that the access and dissemination of the culture and the underwater archaeology are fully compatible with the existence of national historical heritage and the preservation of the cultural identity of the flag state. Within such problems, the Private International Law question relating to the determination of the law applicable to the litigious course will vary radically with regard to the solutions that will be dispensed by a Spanish court under the ship and cargo from being considered as a unit or separately. The significant differences arisen in the Odyssey case in comparison with other cases lead us to refuse the thesis which considers the shipment as a unit along with the vessel, as well as to consider the shipment itself as an independent element. Once discarded their qualification as cultural property under special protection in terms of art. 40.1 LPHE, the governing law should be ascertained according to the conflict-of-laws rule stated in art. 10.1 Spanish Civil Code; however, as a result of the impossibility of the application of the lex rei sitae , it seems to prevail the general criteria provided by the Spanish law as lex fori, which grants the right of the property to the discoverer of the abandoned goods. |
