📅 23 November 2018 📍 Benin, Frankrijk, Senegal

Commissioned by President Emmanuel Macron, Felwine Sarr and Bénédicte Savoy recommended permanent restitution of African cultural objects taken without consent, with provenance research and new partnerships. The report reframed collections acquired under colonial violence as a question of justice and sovereignty. It was an advisory report, not itself a restitution law; later returns were negotiated and limited.
