The Liaison Committee for the Restitution of Cultural Assets

The Liaison Committee for the Restitution of Cultural Assets is a group that facilitates the return of cultural property—like artwork and historical objects—that was wrongfully taken, often during conflicts or colonial times. Its role is to coordinate efforts among countries, institutions, and experts to identify, locate, and repatriate these items to their rightful owners or countries of origin. The committee aims to promote transparency, respect legal and ethical considerations, and support efforts to restore cultural heritage, helping preserve a community’s identity and history.
