Kris Tytgat is the Chairperson for the International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures (IARPS), and also Chair of the Belgian Committee for this worthy cause. Following the development over the last two weeks and post UNESCO's ICPRCP 23 session in Paris (18-20 May, 2022), Kris has written an opinion article, feaured in Ta Nea today.
Kris Tytgat concludes in her overview of the long running case of the division of the Parthenon Marbles, mainly between London's British Mueum and Athens' Acropolis Museum, with the following sentences:
Under the increasing pressure to return the Parthenon Sculptures and the absence of international support for its stand, the U.K showed a lack of a consistent coherent policy this week. By criticizing and not respecting the ICPRCP’s procedures one may also ask why the U.K. has still a representative in the UNESCO’s Committee?
