In short, I think the answer to your question would be that the
convention does not define an individual nation's laws of export
(which was Steve's question). I think it sets out to define
unilaterally acceptable agreements on how to make an application for
the return of an "illicit" object and to define legal grounds for
prosecution/extradition of the owner/handler of an item which is in
dispute.
But before anyone corrects me I would like to state that I've not
read it entirely, so please be gentle when you put me straight! :-)
