MODERATORS
Museums that have non-indigenous material will have a tough time justifying why they are entitled to foreign heritage goods without running into a buzzsaw.
Waiting for the ultimate "finders, keepers" defense.
Totally, in the end it boils down to that. England holds cultural heritage treasures that were undoubtedly stolen/robbed and they have no intention of giving those back either.
An example is this Portugese book collection: https://www.sulinformacao.pt/en/2013/12/associacao-%C2%ABfaro-1540%C2%BB-quer-que-inglaterra-devolva-colecao-de-livros-roubada-em-1596/
