International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures

The enduring controversy surrounding the Parthenon Sculptures, one of the world's most prominent cultural property disputes, may see significant progress in 2025, according to The Economist's The World Ahead 2025 report.

In 2025, the Parthenon Sculptures “may finally be relocated, or at least negotiations over their status could take a significant leap forward.”

As the United Kingdom gears up for the general election on July 4, 2024, an important cultural campaign is gaining momentum amid the political fervor. The British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles (BCRPM) is urging UK voters to consider the issue of the Parthenon Marbles' reunification as they decide which party to support.

"Any holders of Parthenon Sculptures outside Greece should return them forthwith to Athens, where they can be reunited with their brothers and sisters," the distinguished historian of the University of Cambridge, Dr Paul Cartledge, stated in an interview with Kathimerini.

Britain should join a pan-European effort to return the Parthenon Sculptures back to Greece, David Frost, a former British diplomat and Brexit negotiator has said.

David Frost also told the House of Lords in London that the UK should make a grand gesture to create closer diplomatic and cultural relations between the two countries.

Greece's prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Sunday he would push for the return of the Parthenon Marbles when he meets U.K. leader Rishi Sunak in Britain this week.

The sculptures, also known as the Elgin Marbles, were taken from the Parthenon temple at the Acropolis in Athens in the early 19th century by British diplomat Thomas Bruce, the earl of Elgin.
