It was the first committee in the world set up for restitution.It's task - to work towards securing the repatriation of the Parthenon Marbles.In 1997, E.J. Comino was asked by the then Minister for Culture in the Greek Government, Professor Evangelos Venizelos, to make provision for non - AHEPAN and non-Hellenic members so the co-ordinating group was renamed "INTERNATIONAL ORGANISING COMMITTEE – AUSTRALIA – FOR THE RESTITUTION OF THE PARTHENON MARBLES" Inc.
