What the petition asks
An independent review into the legitimacy surrounding the claimed ownership of the Parthenon Marbles held in the British Museum. Request for a full chain of title to be reviewed by an independent international committee and reunification should the committee find illegitimate acquisition.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be a matter for the British Museum, not the UK Government.
