U.S.-Honduras MoU Extended


In its format,
CCPIA perpetuates
early 20th century
ideologies
News from Rick St Hilaire: 'U.S.-Honduras MoU Extended, Ecclesiastical Ethnological Heritage Added to the Import Rules' Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Is it not about time the US took off their world-in-the-1960s spectacles and started treating cultural property of other nations as cultural property like they have, rather than taking their patronising and demeaning approach and calling it "ethnological heritage" as if their global neighbours all walk around bare-breasted in grass skirts with bones through their noses? It surely is time to rewrite that outdated and insulting CCPIA.

UPDATE 13.03.14
I see that Washington lawyer Peter Tompa ('State and CBP Extend Restrictions on Honduran Cultural Goods' Wednesday, March 12, 2014), is all for retaining the present form of this Act.
