This course will focus on the legal issues surrounding the continued retention of the Parthenon Marbles in the British Museum examined against the international legal framework for the protection of cultural heritage. The course will also examine contemporary international law as it applies to the return and restitution of cultural heritage and the changing attitudes of the key stakeholders (especially states and museums). We will also analyse the ethical principles that have been used to support the pro- and the anti-repatriation sides and consider the practical issues involved in the restitution of cultural heritage.
