4:08 am
was stolen back in the 19th century. it was in 18. 60 june. the 2nd opium war. when french and british troops plunder to forbidden city and run sucks the summer palace . the still today, the destruction and theft are a deep star for the chinese people, the beyond there was static value. the bronze hands are considered as priceless items of chinese heritage should appear balancing. therefore, we turned them to see, i figured it would be ok to visit me if i do to defend like i do it that she knew, well, somebody's in the city to be a d, j d k to does she do? i respect. so guys as pick the product is all of for the thing is only fee before the publicly that he's took on the she slip from the equipment
4:09 am
4:10 am
the mysterious buyer revealed his identity at a press conference in beijing. and his announcement was more than unexpected. lots of data, lots of let's see. what was this a team that says he that's ok. i'm well, you know, it's him down to look on for him to do that. yeah. as the buyer refused to pay for the objects pillaged from his country, the bead was cancelled and the 2 bronzes were returned to po box. in china, people continued to demand the restitution at the mind which took on political dimensions. raging viewed it as a way to exercise a national humiliation, but also to confirm a new found international cleft the 2 bronzes in the sun. the home deputy collection become symbols of the plundering of the country by the west. for christie's, it was urgent to come things done with the chinese. in 2013,
4:11 am
the owner of christie's, full swap, he knows himself said emissaries to directly negotiate the purchase of the bronzes with p about z. what is your vehicle please? go see over there. uh, credit card from products with the new assistant dates. yeah. 41 that i have to be to she said she's gonna pay that new shores officially, phone swapping. no returned the heads to being out of friendship for the people of china. but that wasn't all a few weeks after the return of the problems is in the presence of the french businessman, the chinese government finally gave christie's permission to operate in the country and exchanged as p up actually described it. the much publicized case of the summer palace bronzes is far from you need more and
4:12 am
more pillaged. countries are demanding the return of the cultural assets. the trophies of the non museums of the western world pillaged countries have a legal tool to negotiate for the return of their stolen treasures. the 1917 unesco convention signed to june. the era of de colonization imposes on all nations to return objects obtained illegally. in recent years, the pressure on renowned museums has intensified the pack them on museum. the most visited in berlin is obliged to know the origins of its collections. you start to understand that what you have here is not just the archaeological object, but it's part of the cultural heritage of the region or of these countries. and at that point, you realize that you're talking about a political dimension or
4:13 am
a cultural political dimension. as a director, i cannot say, i don't know when somebody asks me, how did your collection actually come into being? so my responsibility as director of, of this museum is to know everything about the optics. while the key documents in this file are the ones that tell us basically that it was ok to take off the objects. and this we have to do for everything. and i'm considering that we have roughly 500000 objects. you know that this is a huge task ahead for us. something that has to be done over decades, really 500000 optics only near. so that's an ongoing process it'll, it'll take them to them which are in secret, but the important thing is somebody is doing it every day because you have to otherwise, otherwise it is. so the new cannot close equally sounded present is that explain
4:14 am
present, you know, since i guarantee a little, given the diesel spikes on locker in just those attic. let me soon as i'm off in the house, the exec them and wednesday, and see what the professor us with the did 67. all the fragments you see here have been pretty busy and we wouldn't be acquiring stuff anymore. the paragraph on stopped acquiring in the 19 thirty's, 40 years before the signing of the unesco convention, which isn't retroactive. so this is so the museums collection is seemingly protected from demands for restitution. but that's not the opinion in turkey, especially in the city of guys the attempt. yeah. and you guys enter, by the way, should you meet your? come hi and give me the full sort of the item you said and in as you me right now me, they said the how, who told them that you don't have to do my username is. that's and, and those adequate a few. and that was the issue on the day to make it to then no one to this nice
4:15 am
on the, on the and then say even in this a little i'm just waiting to be willing to assist in this, this negative. and i've, i've added this blacklist includes objects on show, in the british museum in london, but also in the paragraph on, in berlin. although they were all acquired before, 1970 turkey still wants to come back. it's not a question, museums anymore, because it's a request of the state of turkey. they also are in the process of overcoming colonial attitudes towards cultural heritage. and in this process, they have started to realize that the countries in the west have not always been upfront about their practices of acquiring collections. you can do the installation, the decomposition, would you either this on tape?
4:16 am
so unless you have for luca and it has, has john there and they can 9, and we're going to be able to give it resume 0. my done a vision, know ransom cargo shante can then gant, and then i just sort of updating to the solution. took her to the mutual assess within and containing online and then i made, can you say that in the i was interested in this a new they are using and then there's an codecs you on on of the villages happened over a century ago. but turkey isn't ready to forget, like china and easily turkey has made the restitution of its treasure as a political priority within its culture, administering the turkish government to set up a special restitution unit. 40 or so. lawsuits have already been one resulting in the return of over 4000 objects.
4:17 am
one of the special unit successes is the restitution of this music of orpheus stolen in the 1950s then purchased by the dallas museum of art. after several years of legal wrangling, the museum was obliged to return it. while village nations like turkey, have a legal framework to the mind, reparations. this isn't the case in the private sector, but only the markets rules. in this antique shop window, how many artifacts have a perfectly established origin? in many cases, it's practically impossible to verify the does. the private antiquities market have its own rooms immune to international legislation. unesco had attempted to extend its 1970 convention to better control
4:18 am
private transactions. a new conviction adopted in 1995, the unity, the wide convention on stolen or a legally exported culture. the objects obliges sellers to prove the legal origin of a notion of fact, it also obliges buyers to demand proof. but although the originals unesco convention is recognized by a 113 nations, only 37 party states, i've committed to the unit while convention, the so the market is winning. strongly agree with its own, often shady rooms trading as embodied by the fleet port system. one of the main sort of figures of all the market traffic the best known here in
4:19 am
geneva. but the exist throughout the world. free ports were originally special, economic zones, which stopped in transit merchandise, to reduce or avoid customs duties. our dealers will soon renting space in these huge warehouses to discreetly store artifacts by allowing people to store all kinds of objects without the slightest control. reports have long being considered as a hub of antiquities, trafficking. it's estimated there are over a 1000000 works deposited here. more than twice the number contained in the news. this switch to establishment guarantees its clients 100 percent confidentiality. its high security site is protected from 50, but also from prying eyes. artifacts can be stored safely here for years. see for fossil cuz i don't for them on the left the bottom. okay. you also panel up
4:20 am
the a no, i'm any want your and when would you like to have dental thunder? you said that those things one's should one, let me see what went on saw see scan when you have a successful d, v, a. we're doing the tax to her to come mass know that i sit down a no taxation unappealing advantage for all the dealers. while the works remain in sight of freeport, they can be sold and bowled without being subjected to any kind of tax. customs duties are only paid once when a work definitively leaves the free port a perfectly legal tax haven. right, in the heart of you, these facilities explain why the gallery phoenix keeps most of its merchandise in free ports. and the showcase is only
4:21 am
a small part of the collection is displayed. the gallery belongs to alley. i will. tom. one of the biggest antiquities dealers in the world. in 2010 customs discovered an alley of bu times warehouse in the freeport of geneva, this 2nd century we roman. it's a cough i guess. since then, it has been the center of a complex legal battle stuff sacrificed is mulberry last a lot. the tulip also know on on, on the events and call a play on love on the phone just so i'm going to do on the golf hands off. i'm going to confirm that, so probably probably for the on these evaluate is plus 50 savvy. they don't, i don't know if j now i'll come from the lab such as it pleases, showing that the nice show she wants to hold you. i think the jake, they'll do is they died. the swell during the depot will befall
4:22 am
a do math shop for an easy lift gate. there's use, it's called the now and kissed the dement comp gets the don't get those the dollars . i'm as guilty. i'll do it eladio, hooker, and then it's cute little next to him. sit issues the, gets he, in the example, the good news or more. don't say i'm a mazda shuck, so let me have a more of this was the like. is to inform them what then? the critics, you, austin could to get put new. oh, let the can with us on the phone. you found enough show us that the success you want to close that the present instead of going to have on the relation menu on the phone on that you didn't, you do, may i? yeah. can swap out the you. yeah. is just the most of the colors too low on like good the, this is sacrifice a lapse of to can with this. so please auction, go see the, to the equivalence in moines excel. good. the goodness. so can you spit cities decision to have faced with doug?
4:23 am
silver, the objects origin, the sale was finally cancelled. as the said conflict, as was probably looted in turkey, switched authorities decided to allowed anchor a letter of key idea for me. do cool. that's your key. sit both it back to you said you didn't policy, do i did they can say, oh, just the man who thought they did the re lease without the cit, the city to expose the best you want to sit for you to call the steam pistachio to point to do for you. so does sacrifice the best that the tumble. please don't bundle gushy while long via on look that up. what other story i've included. ok. mike, the wrong with that to the londo posted on the except the doctor being restored in london. this or caustic, has didn't return to geneva until 2009. so the turkish lawyer heading the case
4:24 am
believes it comes under the news with law, which demands irreproachable origins from all works of art imported after 2005 in september 2015. so it just is finally ordered, the re punctuation of this or conflict has to turkey. but on the other, tom continues to claim ownership based on the certificate delivered by the company . our last register told us that if you get to decrease that positively but this is, you know, the best buys it, have to scrape the stuff to take our loss. now there's also the don't good for the subject. really drastic the sheet that by say so clicked on that it gives you the simple get it. it gives you our bus good, legit, it's saki, saki disorder, funky, also due to a for me what is an arch last registered certificate? the precious open sesame of the old market. a document which states that an object
4:25 am
was stolen. founded in london 25 years ago was a private information service, with over 400000 listed objects. ok, last register owns the largest data base of stolen artifacts in the world for a fee. and a buyer or seller can ask art last way, just to verify that a piece is not listed on its data base of the peace these registrations these uh uh, could also be registration from a nice and just in case bite wings ever start and register them on the dates page, just in case they show up for sale somewhere else. and myself is examples of the fests from the national museum of iraq and in 2003 in 2004. and what was amazing is they were very careful and you can tell it was well plans because they went into the basement once they've started and everything. and they destroyed all the documentation for the objects so that people wouldn't know what
4:26 am
have been studied. unfortunately, the major objects have been recorded elsewhere. the you can see actually uh, the different words that we've entered just to help bring that up. so here they would put for orleans they would put up is braided, have perhaps something like that. in the case of the baghdad museum and eventually existed so stolen objects could be captured onto the database. but in was owns, very few museums keep precise inventories and there's no way that objects discovered during illegal dicks will ever be listed. obviously that's incredibly difficult when you're looking at least you don't logical material that has been looted out of the ground. if it's taken out of the ground, then potentially the only people that even know of its existence of the people the targets out and yet this certificate
4:27 am
is widely used on the antiquities market, as is the case for ali times. so cost like this. i wish i had paid full pallets like i would say, and it's we've always been very clear about what ssl certificates are full and they state very clearly that an item is no. so not a surveys and it's not being registered with us. but that not every fact or loss or leasing event is registered with us. so it's not complete. as the ard last registered certificate, none the less remains the main document supplied by a seller to prove his or her good faith. a precious certificate which can multiply the price of an object by $10.00 foot. why is the service provided by a private company and not by a public body, at least on a european level,
4:28 am
changes in national laws to go across and explanation states and the, make it very difficult to resolve issues relating to stolen out in particular. because some of the limitation periods change, principles of acquiring good time to change is something that people take advantage of to get around the system. the, this is the off the mazda, next rushing of tracking or cheap in the sacramento region. the victims took 68 at the school in front line villages be sent to the printer because lifeline for those cookies. and wanted to have only the ulta,
4:29 am
you remain every day debrief for evict. but many here see a deep connection points may become a regular talk. it's a 2 year old alexandra. so keeping estate she refuses to leave. they used to ask me, granny, what do you need? i would say i didn't need anything except i saw a young soldier died. just say that the, i wish it wouldn't be ross. and from him he was a very young. some people were buried in the homes because were too dangerous to go to the graveyard. russians and ukrainian eastern friends. why did they do this to us? the story of this village is the same as many of us spread across the eastern front, like no electricity, no running water dependents on food dates. so we need to rest apart from the constant jetting the
4:30 am
short documentary from around the world. that celebrates coverage and resilience in times of time out as the risk analysis. how does one forgave, after losing 32 family members in a anus mexico, a survivor of one of columbia's 50 alone conflicts west atrocities dedicates his life to reconciliation. but his peaceful says around him. nina palazzios life and mission, are in jeopardy. witness book higher court in the cross 5 on outages here on the great thing about being a news present that in that book like i'll just here is that it's a truly global operation. few more challenges here. you'll see news from parts of the world. the other networks just don't come off, you're getting a fully global perspective. we have that extensive network of bureaus around the
4:31 am
world. we have many, many correspondents in corners of the globe. if you really want to know what's happening in the world right now, you need to be watching out just here of the wood, the absence of common legislation and with skyrocketing prizes, trafficking has taken on industrial proportions no matter what they have been doing. good. but those have been to make it less busy, but i do not need to look at the central tabs. a lot of these are based
4:32 am
on the so i could just check it out, doc, and what would be the, the bus, the beginning of the genetic soon it is, i know you said that you did that on both of these, but it is, i got to go back to date, looters have direct access to the market. all we need to do is post the object online where it can be sold anonymously. in reason to use the number of websites selling archaeological artifacts has increased a 100 phones. on one of them, we found this place now probably from a rec, officially, this type of object has been banned from sale since 2004. but on these platforms, no one cares about origin export licenses or legal documents. it's the final stage of what is become global trafficking, believe to be the 3rd highest illegal trade in the world,
4:33 am
antiquities traffic and was rarely in the public. hi. this is gone unnoticed for years. so. but footage of destruction by the islamic state of a rock and the font i saw has caused a major international commotion. a bon, any i b, he will follow me name. uh huh. the mfc let the uh, to me uh, can you me good. the music decree, music, music, these mash, this will show on the hockey. uh see, actually booked up. see if i'm at a super stop down the street. by me. the policy could sit on the side. can you talk
4:34 am
a whole subject because that will be a live. why heard the treat cooker the c e o produce. so that on the sip of the metric g, g mail dot, tech dot gonna cover eyes to put vision that came on the demand to said you to the stage destruction by iso hides another reality, much harder to measure mass looting. since its founding iso has been suspected of parts financing, its activities to antiquities, traffic in the sea could utilities to assist. now again, i guess because she got steve said those shape and clearly did. and that to security, that is not through so not and i took into this is this like the effect of this was a key subject at a press conference to present the new red list published by i called the
4:35 am
international council of museums for 15 years. i comb has been publishing lists of rear objects from various countries which direction to turn off on the international orange market. this time a concert antiquities from iraq and syria suspected of financing. i still offer ations as proof that the subject is being taken seriously. several international figures attend the meeting, including richard stengel representing the u. s. government. so would launch the offensive rights. mister richardson go and the secretary of the department goes, why are you going to turn good evening. i'm delighted to be here. what we have seen over the last year is i soul's weapon ization of information,
4:36 am
and the cultural destruction that they are practicing in the weapon ization of culture. so this is the destruction of history, the destruction of culture and the destruction of human beings, thousands of human beings at the risk of being too graphic. as i would say that the buying or selling of an artifact is worth finance is the bi headings of muslims in the middle east. don't sell, don't buy. that's one quick solution. no buying selling is very good slogan. it's obviously impossible to completely police it and to be certain about it. one of the things that we've seen is that i still is using existing criminal markets that have existed over 102030 years in the region. they're using those people as middle man to finance their operations. but how do we
4:37 am
know what exactly is going on in the field? opposite the association for the protection of serbian archaeology has been recording cases of plundering in syria. the association based in stock book and founded in 2011 at the outbreak of the country civil war is headed by syrian archaeologists shack. most of the according to information gathered by opposite i. so is the only on group sundry sites and sylvia, all the actors and the conflict artist lane 20 lea with a 1000000 pieces of active in mazda and infinity, talk to you. and you also up to me on the phone to create a dash, was easily menu or you didn't do a multi lo up to supervisor. but it won't allow me to assist in no, excuse me. no, and again, easy set. the only thing is click that though. a lot. this is so cool. so i'm
4:38 am
pressing. i'd like to soon do dodge sitting many of the many feet as you want the exclusive festival. my gosh, do for yourself. sick to suckle my c. v. and i'm going to die, swap all siri. what's the extent of this traffic and how to the local networks that supply it operate? to find the answers you need to go into the field. so ship most makes regular visits to talking to each other. members of his association, the early in the war is correspondents could easily cross the turkish syrian border. but turkey recently closed entry into its temperature the, the spots on too many on the customer. now, these are psalms of pc, they tell you the pushing it up to the how the tip off the
4:39 am
jump, the to the don't experience the don't fit the sooner to be. you know, peter saw so most the best able to came update. we're not in warranty. only one job for the city. they send me the the very best i can get you one. 0 my most of the it is only available to get it down to people. they only allow me to tell me guys how they have the initial data wise tipton street
4:40 am
the should have sent me the discipline on dungy approved of course. so why, just one way i'm gonna talk to them are some fits the con, continue the contact via skype face to face. so when you don't have any for the not so long ago, it was still possible to cross the border and large quantities of merchandise. i've lived here in guthrie and tip 60 kilometers from the serbian board. according to several sources. this turkey city is the hub for the trafficking of objects plundered by i. so here
