The Return of the Parthenon Marbles
How And Why They Were Taken and the Case For Their Return
A presentation by founder and chairman of the International Organising Committee – Australia – for the Restitution of the Parthenon Marbles, Emanuel John Comino OAM.
Mr Comino has campaigned for 32 years for the Marbles’ return. Britain still refuses to return them to Greece.
The Marbles were and remain an integral part of the Parthenon as a monument to the glory of Classical Greece and the civilisation it gave to the world.
Ownership might never be resolved but present intransigence attracts increasing diplomatic pressure. This presentation will look at the legal issue of the ownership of the Marbles, the problem of their preservation and the current situation regarding their return.
