Join in 'mediation' with Greece over Elgin Marbles, Unesco urges Britain

"The long running dispute over the Elgin Marbles should be settled by mediation, Britain is told. William Hague has been urged to take part in a "mediation procedure" with Greece in a fresh diplomatic bid to resolve the long-running dispute over the Elgin Marbles. Unesco, the United Nation's cultural organisation, has written to the Foreign Secretary, to Maria Miller, the culture secretary, and to Neil MacGregor, the British Museum's director, inviting them to sit down with Greek officials and seek a mutually acceptable solution to the issue of the sculptures - once part of the ancient Parthenon building in Athens."
