📅 24 December 2020 📍 France; Benin; Senegal

France promulgated a law enabling the restitution of twenty-six works from Abomey to Benin and a sabre with its scabbard to Senegal. The measure created exceptions to the inalienability of public collections. It challenged legal barriers to return while applying to specified objects rather than establishing automatic restitution of every colonial acquisition.
