|Resource Type=Cases
|Title=To Accept or Not to Accept
|Is About=The fictional case describes a scenario whereby a collection of pottery is offered for donation to a museum on the condition that the total collection would be accepted and retained. The collection, though, contains items that ‘might’ be subject to repatriation.
|Important Because=Although a fictional scenario, the case shows that there are not always straightforward answers in dealing with issues that may challenge the values, rights and rules of different cultural or ethnic groups.
|Important For=Researchers
|Has Best Practice=As Anne Pybern (a member of the Committee on Ethics) notes, such scenario requires carefully considered and flexible responses so that we do not end up serving the various existing rules instead of using these rules to service the ethical needs of humanity accordingly.
