Berlin Wash. Principles 20th ann. Conference: perspectives of young people from Europe panel. Probably the most encouraging panel of the whole program so far, at least the younger generation has been raised considering provenance is unavoidable!

These young students took a strong stand today pointing out the fact that the Washington Principles, while meaning well, don’t work for #Restitution . Well done, and keep up the good work! #WashingtonPrinciples2018

It's the Washington Principles Conference 2018 photo caption contest! Can you do any better?

Marc Masurovsky HARP inquired as to why the Washington Principles were a failure because it doesn’t support claimants. Stu Eizenstat attacked back that it does. What planet does Stu live on, Mars? It’s NOT ENFORCEABLE for #Restitution ! #WashingtonPrinciples2018

Berlin Wash. Principles 20th ann. Conf. day 2, with Anne-Marie Descôtes, French ambassador to Germany, acknowledging 'more work to be done'. #FunFact : she was sued 90+times, including in US courts, when running AEFE, the French overseas education agency! #washingtonprinciples2018

French Ambassador to Germany acknowledges France hasn’t done enough for #Restitution . Showing that the Washington Principles haven’t worked. #WashingtonPrinciples2018

After a shameful Nat. Devpt panel at the Berlin Wash. Principles 20th ann. conference, Agnes Peresztegi nailed it:'victims don't want fairness or mediation, they want their art back!' #washingtonprinciples2018

Agnes Peresztegi points to the fact that we need to support restitution in its entirety no matter the claimant. Due to the Washington Principle’s failure, it’s time to #ReturnTheArt ! #WashingtonPrinciples2018

Looks like the place needs the #ReturnTheArt hashtag!

Nat'l Devpt Panel at the Berlin Wash. Principles 20th anniversary conference muddying the water! De Chermont (F) & Bank (NL) getting gold medals! Everything peachy in Rest. Land! #washingtonprinciples2018
