US (Yawn) "Meeting Regarding Sale of Human Remains and Sacred Objects at Paris Auction"

US Hypocrisy exposed

Native Americans are protesting upcoming Paris auction. Press event: @SmithsonianNMAI 24 May http://nmai.si.edu/sites/1/files/pdf/press_releases/Media-Advisory-Paris-Auction-2016.pdf …

Instead of "contesting the sale" why are these people NOT protesting that the USA does not simply make items like this subject to export licensing procedure? It is bonkers to place others in the wrong when it your own lack of coherent policy which is to blame. There is a UNESCO 1970 Convention to stop this kind of thing, why are the US trying to sidetrack it?
