It was decided, and announced during the event, that it was the first of an annual series of conferences to be hosted by the three committees on a rotating basis. The event, which drew supporters from all corners of the globe, was jointly presented by The British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles (BCRPM), The International Organizing Committee – Australia – for the Restitution of the Parthenon Marbles (IOC-A-RPM) and The American Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures (ACRPS). The colloquy was aimed to promote an open dialogue and create further momentum for change, and was held on the 19th of June 2012, at the London Hellenic Centre. The event was timed to coincide with the third anniversary of the opening of the new Acropolis Museum and the occasion of the 2012 London Olympics one month later. In 2012, three leading campaigning organisations for the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, from Australia, UK and USA, joined forces and organised an International Colloquy that was held in London. The reunification of a global icon as the Parthenon will benefit not only the Greek people but the world community who will be able to admire and study the narrative of the collection in its intended state. Due to tireless efforts by Global citizens and an increasingly positive world public opinion the case for reunification is gaining momentum towards a commonly accepted solution. What the world needs to be aware of is that an integral part of the structure and decoration of this monument (the collection of the Parthenon Marbles) was removed and has been kept away for over 200 years. This can be seen in any building that reflects these values (court houses, banks, museums etc). Its shape has been associated with beauty, perfection and stature. The Parthenon has become a symbol of global citizenship recognised all over the world.
