UN Discussion on Return or Restitution of Cultural Property to the Countries of Origin

.
United Nations  A/67/L.34 General Assembly  5 December 2012
Sixty-seventh session Agenda item 10: 
Return or Restitution of Cultural Property to the Countries of Origin

I note that while Poland and the USA are listed at the head of the document as supporting it, the United Kingdom is absent. Shame on you.

UPDATE 21.12.12:
Rick St Hilaire has a much fuller discussion of the draft, and its background: "U.S. Supports U.N. Resolution Urging Countries to Take Antiquities Trafficking Seriously", Cultural Heritage Lawyer Rick St Hilaire Blog 20 Dec 2012. It is not mentioned on any coiney or artefact dealers' blogs.
