Division in Archaeological Community Over Immunity Bill

Rick St. Hilaire, former SAFE VP and current Lawyers’ Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation Board Member, has departed from his fellows to support S. 2212, a bill meant to immunize art coming into the United States for museum exhibitions.   See http://culturalheritagelawyer.blogspot.com/2012/04/foreign-cultural-exchange.html.  I have critiqued the position of SAFE and the Lawyers’  Committee here.  See http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2012/04/lobbying-effort-against-immunity-bill.html
