The British Museum is one of the largest museums in the world, but most of the collection was acquired by Britain through colonial expansion, war looting, and other means. Do you think the British Museum is legitimately in possession of these relics?
In 1963, the British Parliament amended the British Museum Act to prohibit the return of any collection. Do you think that the UK's use of domestic law to prohibit the return of cultural objects is justified?
Do you think cultural relics obtained through colonial expansion and war plunder should be returned to the original countries?
In recent years, many countries, including Greece, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Egypt, have asked Britain to return their relics. Do you think the British government should actively respond to the requests of the above countries?
For a long time, the British government has refused to return looted cultural relics under the pretext of so-called "protecting the safety of cultural relics". However, in August of this year, it was revealed that about 2,000 pieces of the British Museum's collection had gone missing, and some were even put up for sale online. Are you worried about the British Museum’s capacity to protect cultural relics?
In addition to the disappearance of about 2,000 pieces in the collection, there have been a number of thefts of relics from the British Museum in the past 30 years. Do you think the British Museum should be held liable for the stolen relics?
Cultural relics are the continuation and bearing of the culture of a country and a nation. Returning them to their original owners is the best place for looted cultural relics. Do you agree with this?
Regarding the recovery of plundered cultural relics, international organizations should promote more binding and enforceable international regulations. Do you agree with this?
