“Prestigious institutions such as the J. Paul Getty Museum of Art in Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York have agreed to return looted or stolen artwork or antiquities” Another country that returned cultural heritage to its initial country was the Republic of Korea, who gave Mongolia 11 dinosaur fossils, these fossils were illegally placed into the country in 2014.Egypt has been returned several rare ancient cultural goods and objects such as a “fragmented settle in honor of King Siptah from the era of the New Kingdom” (UNESCO, 2016). Jonathan Tokeley-Parry, who took 2,000 antiquities from Egypt, was in prison for 3 years. Egypt and the United States signed an agreement to ban, punish, stop and prevent trade and importation of illegal antiquities who were looted or stolen.

The Egyptian Antiquities Minister, Zahi Hawass, is looking forward to recovering smuggled artifacts from Egypt and is making a global search to look for stolen antiquities.Concerned by this situation, the delegation of Egypt proposes the following solutions: Firstly, monitor trade of antiquities and ancient artifacts, as well as objects and art that contribute to cultural goods, in order to supervise and detect any smuggled, looted or stolen object. Second, impose penal sanctions to every single person without omission if they commit something that has to do with the theft of cultural heritage of a museum. And lastly, made a search in every country to look for possible looted objects, in order to be able to return those objects to their actual owner, as well as searching for illegal trade and smuggling.
