Cairo Conference


A multi national conference is to be held in Cairo to deal with issues of repatriation of artifacts removed over the centuries. Among the countries who will participate include Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, China, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, Korea, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Peru.

I could not help but notice that Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, United States, Canada and Switzerland are missing from that list making the conference questionable even before it starts.
