Editor's Notes:
Thailand agreed to return the artifacts after Cambodia's National Assembly unanimously ratified the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. As of January 3, 2002, Thailand has asked Cambodia to retrieve the artifacts but Cambodia has not set a date for the repatriation.
