Should we return all such gifts? Why?
Should France claim back the statue of liberty?
- quijoteuniv 6y agoI do not think France should claim it back, but maybe the US should give it back in the meantime ;p
- onyva 6y agoThe USA has obviously no need for it these days and, it’d better if it was covered, put in storage or sent back.
- nextaccountic 6y agoThe Sultan's gift was improperly given, no person can own the cultural heritage of a country. The statue of liberty wasn't an archeological find to begin with.
- thefounder 6y ago>> The Sultan's gift was improperly given, no person can own the cultural heritage of a country. How do you define "properly" given? I believe the ruler of the said country(be it a Sultan or a democratic elected gov) has all the authority to manage the cultural heritage of its country.
- onyva 6y agoIt wasn’t his to give.
