Abstract

The article argues that Greece has a strong legal case for the return of the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum, particularly if issues like statutes of limitations and sovereign immunity are overlooked. It suggests that under New York law, Greece would likely succeed and encourages Greece to pursue legal action, potentially through a declaratory judgment in Greek courts to resolve the legal dispute and influence public opinion.
