looted art and efforts at restitution

Howard from NYC (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm asking not telling... what about a section focused on issues and lawsuits and publicity of "looted art"?

one of many recent examples:

https://lite.cnn.com/2023/11/05/africa/gabon-demands-rare-african-mask-back-after-sale-intl/index.html

another related query... should there be a similiar section in every wiki page of all 200+ nations?

granted in some cases, it is less about nation "A" being looted as having done the looting of nation "B"
