Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Parthenon Marbles should be returned to Greece.

HRES 18 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' view that the United Kingdom should negotiate the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece. It specifically calls for the UK government to enter talks with Greece to facilitate the marbles' return, citing their cultural significance as an integral part of the Parthenon and Greece's 200-year effort to reclaim them. The resolution emphasizes that reunifying the marbles would honor their historical context and Greece's care for them, noting Greece's New Acropolis Museum as a suitable home. As a procedural resolution, it does not impose legal obligations but formally states the House's position on this cultural heritage issue.
