Joan was a nurse and spent most of her time during her husband’s mission looting archaeological sites in Egypt and the Near East. Her story recently made headlines at the West Australian, where, among others, it is stated that “Through her husband’s UN connections, over 11 years she was given carte blanche to travel between Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. She used her diplomatic freedom to search for antiquities.”
It is not acceptable that Mrs. Howard behaved as a pirate and appropriated from the different archaeological sites. Mrs. Howard has broken all possible laws taking advantage of her diplomatic status.
We, the undersigned, urge you to demand an investigation on the Egyptian artifacts of Mrs. Howard’s collection now in Perth. These objects should be repatriated if found to have left Egypt illegally. The celebratory tone of the article of her boasting on the destruction of archaeological sites sends a very negative image. This is particularly destructive given the current situation of looting of archaeological sites in Egypt post-2011. We need to counter the exact image Mrs. Howard has presented in her article for the safeguard of not only Egyptian heritage, but also world heritage in general.
