📅 26 December 2023 📍 Frankrijk

Law 2023-1251 created a process for removing identified human remains originating in a foreign state from France’s public collections so they can be returned to that state for funerary purposes. It requires a state request and sets legal and scientific review conditions. The measure is a structural change, but its state-to-state scope does not automatically recognize communities as direct claimants or cover cultural objects more broadly.
