"The controversial French report recommending a systematic and
unconditional return of African cultural heritage was all-but buried
yesterday at a conference in Paris. The report's authors Bénédicte Savoy
and Felwin Sarr raised alarm in French and European museums by
recommending automatic restitutions to African states of all goods
seized during the colonial era. In his opening speech at the symposium
on Thursday, the French culture minister Franck Riester only pledged
that "France will examine all requests presented by African nations" but
asked them not to "focus on the sole issue of restitution....The
conference was attended by some 200 archaeologists, anthropologists, art
historians, curators and representatives of ministries of culture from
Europe and Africa. Despite being invited to address the meeting by the
minister, Savoy and Sarr failed to show. They were not available for
immediate comment."
