Illicit trafficking in cultural property in Guatemala began to develop upon the Spanish conquest, as these assets were considered trophies or merchandise. In 1855, the Popol Vuh and the Memorial de Tecpán Atitlán were taken out of the country by Abbot Brasseur de Bourburg for translation; however, they were never returned.

We Kuna know that there are all kinds of spirits in a different world and we are aware that they can affect our health and livelihoods. We believe that, when these things are troubling someone, that someone can well be a Nele. The knowledge of therapeutic songs should travel to the world of spirits to convince them to act in a different, benevolent way. C&D

Laleta Davis Mattis, University Counsel and Head of the Legal Unit University of the West Indies.
Article. Culture & Development No. 10.
The illicit traffic in cultural property is an epidemic and must be eliminated. This can only be achieved through international co-operation in implementing the convention. The Caribbean though challenged by the basic requirements for implementation, must recognize the regional power of collaboration in the fight against illicit traffic. There must be emphasis on a regional rather than a national approach to complying with the tenets of the convention. There is a need for harmonized policy and legislative framework and the establishment of standard operating procedures for addressing illicit traffic in cultural property.
