Perhaps the most famed of these disputes lies between the United Kingdom and Greece. In the early 19th century, a British ambassador situated in Ottoman-era Athens removed a considerable amount of ancient works from the city\u2019s historic Parthenon site, and these objects (the \u201cElgin Marbles\u201d) found their way into permanent exhibition at London\u2019s British Museum. Since the establishment of an independent Greek state, its people have routinely called for the return of this property to its place of origin \u2013 a request continually denied by British authorities. Given the durability of this particular dispute, the fame surrounding the works themselves, and the progression of international law, the Elgin Marbles will likely remain at the forefront of cultural heritage and foreign relations discussions through the next few decades. Today, the Greeks have several options (legal and otherwise) with which to try and get the property back. In order to make a strong prediction of the dispute\u2019s future developments, this paper will apply to the relevant facts not only common principles of international law, but also morality, historicism, and the growing trend of voluntary cultural repatriation in diplomatic relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/files\/archive\/volume3\/issue1\/3BakuStULRev1.pdf?\">Download: PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 Baku St. U.
