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

H.Res. 18 is a non-binding resolution that expresses the House of Representatives' position that the United Kingdom should enter into negotiations with Greece to facilitate the return of the Parthenon Marbles. These marble sculptures were removed from the Parthenon in the early 19th century during Ottoman rule and are currently housed in the British Museum.

As a non-binding resolution, this bill does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. If passed, it would serve as an expression of congressional sentiment rather than a mandate for action. The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee in January 2025. Any actual return of the marbles would require separate negotiations and agreements between the British and Greek governments, independent of this congressional expression of support for such discussions.
