Abstract

Antiquities have a great importance in introducing human life, as man draws from it past experiences with their good and bad, and avoids the mistakes that occurred through them, to illuminate his path towards the future. And the crime of trespassing on archaeological sites is considered a crime related to damage to the archaeological site, and it is also a serious crime.This study relies on extrapolating the direction of the Libyan legislator in accordance with Law No.3 of 1995 on the protection of antiquities with regard to the crime of encroaching on archaeological sites, and comparing it with the provisions of comparative legislation, in order to obtain knowledge of the effectiveness of the criminalization and punishment provisions contained in the Antiquities Protection Law, as well as the extent of its compliance with international agreements and treaties
