The guidance provides a practical framework for museums to consider and manage potential restitution and repatriation cases. ACE, in partnership with other bodies, published &#8220;Restitution and Repatriation: A Practical Guide for Museums in England&#8221; in 2023. The organisation has implemented concrete measures by commissioning practical guidance documents and establishing standards defining restitution as the process by which cultural objects are returned to an individual or a community, and repatriation as the process by which cultural objects are returned to a nation or state at the request of a government. However, significant limitations remain as UK museums accept &#8216;1970&#8217; as an ethical watershed, refusing to acquire any object removed after that date from its country of origin without full documentation. The mention of 1970 as a key ethical watershed date for acquisitions is a standard part of UK museum ethics, promoted by ACE and the Museums Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mesures de restitution\u00a0:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practical step-by-step framework for handling claims, emphasis on provenance research, the importance of community consultation, and ethical decision-making processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limitations du cadre : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-statutory (voluntary compliance) and its implementation relies entirely on the resources, expertise, and willingness of individual institutions, leading to an inconsistent sector-wide approach.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":1},"country":[241],"framework-type":[212],"class_list":["post-6416","policy-record","type-policy-record","status-publish","hentry","country-united-kingdom","framework-type-working-groups"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/policy-record\/6416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/policy-record"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/policy-record"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=6416"},{"taxonomy":"framework-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/framework-type?post=6416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
