Bill overview
This resolution urges the United Kingdom to negotiate with Greece to return the Parthenon Marbles to Greece. The Marbles, sculptures from the Parthenon temple, were removed in the early 19th century by a British nobleman and are considered a vital part of Greek cultural heritage. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the Parthenon and argues for their reunification with the rest of the temple’s structure.
