This is a moment in time when we as a society, in New York, nationally and internationally, are reexamining how we address looted art and cultural property. The Symposium will draw together discussion of Holocaust-era looted art and cultural property, antiquities taken in the Colonial-era and subsequently, as well as Native American cultural and religious artifacts, ancestors, and repatriation. There have been major developments recently in all these areas making this Symposium singularly appropriate at this point in time, and courts are increasingly being confronted with these issues. The Symposium will bring together diverse perspectives on issues of legislation, litigation, law enforcement, and societal examination of history, and will look at common themes of law and policy in these fields in order to examine where we are and to discuss potential future directions.
