🧵 In the past weeks, the #Wiki community has watched with great concern the events unfolding across #Afghanistan. The country & its rich & diverse #CulturalHeritage is once again facing the threat of looting & illegal traffic. To protect it, we need to work together. 1/5

Usage of collections from contemporary communities requires respect for human dignity and the traditions and cultures that use such material. Such collections should be used to promote human #well-being, social development, tolerance, and respect (...).

Museums should be prepared to initiate dialogue for the return of cultural property to a country or people of origin. This should be undertaken in an impartial manner, based on scientific, professional and humanitarian principles (…).
