Britain last week finally decided to sign the 1970 UNESCO convention that
lets member countries recover stolen antiquities that surface in other members鈥�
markets. This gives them some chance of recovering illegal exports. Britain is a
hotbed for dealing in stolen art and antiquities, second only to the US. The
trade could be worth as much 拢5 billion a year鈥攁nd it will still be
legal. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a totally daft situation,鈥� says Peter Addyman, director of the York
Archaeological Trust. Most other Western countries, apart from the US, have
already signed the convention.
