Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Abstract
The article presents a compelling case for the repatriation of the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece, arguing that their removal by Lord Elgin was illegal, destructive, and morally unjustifiable. The Greek government asserts that the British Museum's continued possession violates both historical and contemporary legal standards, undermining cultural integrity and international ethical norms. The argument underscores the sculptures' intrinsic connection to Greece's cultural identity and the global community's growing support for their return.
