LONDON/VIENNA, 13 November 2025 – Today, the OSCE began supporting the United Kingdom Government and London Metropolitan Police in a significant national operation to secure and catalogue just under 200 cultural artefacts.
Following a request for assistance from the UK Government and London Metropolitan Police, specialists from the OSCE-led Heritage Crime Task Force will work alongside the Metropolitan Police to ensure the safe extraction, forensic documentation and secure storage of the objects. The collection includes significant items of Cambodian, Bactrian and Gandharan heritage, among others. These items will be examined and catalogued before being repatriated to their countries of origin.
“This operation demonstrates the true power of international co-operation in defending our common heritage and disrupting the networks that are complicit in the trafficking in cultural property,” said Ambassador Alena Kupchyna, the OSCE Co-ordinator of Activities to Address Transnational Threats. “Together, we are sending a clear message: those who profit from the theft, trafficking or destruction of cultural property will be identified, exposed and brought to justice, and these objects will find their way back home.”
Detective Constable Sophie Hayes of the Arts and Antiques Unit at the London Metropolitan Police said “the Arts and Antiques Unit at the Met, the UK’s only dedicated art crime team, works hand-in-hand with international partners to identify, recover and repatriate valuable artworks and cultural treasures across London.”
“In collaboration with the OSCE, we are facilitating the identification and return of looted cultural objects recovered from London. This partnership reflects our unwavering commitment to the return of stolen artefacts to their countries of origins. While these reunions can be complex, we are proud to play a central role in this important international operation,” she added.
The OSCE will work with London Metropolitan Police and the relevant embassies and government authorities to facilitate their safe return.
This support from the task force is part of the OSCE's broader efforts to combat trafficking in cultural property, which has been recognized as a serious transnational crime that not only deprives communities of their cultural heritage but also serves as a critical source of financing for wider transnational criminal and terrorist networks.
The OSCE-led Heritage Crime Task Force was created in 2021 to assist OSCE participating States in interdicting and disrupting networks complicit in trafficking in cultural property, and the linkages to organized crime, terrorism financing and money laundering. The Task Force comprises a network of 80 officers and experts representing law enforcement, customs and border management agencies, prosecutors' offices, museums and academia from across the OSCE area as well as international organizations.

Download ReportIPI, together with Independent Diplomat cohosted a discussion on November 13th on innovative means to engage non-state actors in multilateral conflict resolution and prevention.
As armed conflicts reach their highest level in decades and the UN Security Council faces mounting criticism for its inability to prevent or resolve contemporary crises, there is an urgent need for more effective approaches to international peacemaking. One gap in current approaches is the lack of meaningful engagement with non-state actors, including armed groups, political opposition parties, and civil society movements—particularly within the Security Council. To fill this gap, the nonprofit diplomatic advisory group Independent Diplomat (ID) launched the “Meet the Parties” (MTP) platform.
MTP offers an impartial, confidential platform for UN Security Council members to engage multilaterally with non-state stakeholders—many of them politically contested. Over the past two years, ID has facilitated dozens of discreet MTP meetings between Security Council members and non-state actors from Afghanistan, Cameroon, South Sudan, Syria, and Sudan. MTP demonstrates that informal, unconventional approaches to diplomacy can positively influence both affected parties and international stakeholders.
This event presented a new policy report with findings from the first comprehensive assessment of the MTP initiative. The report spotlights practical methods to strengthen the inclusion of non-state actors in Security Council consultations. It also explores the transferability of these lessons beyond the Security Council, including to the UN Peacebuilding Commission, the African Union, and other multilateral forums.

Reza Afshar, OBE, Executive Director, Independent Diplomat

African and European Heads of State or Government will meet in Luanda (Angola) on 24 and 25 November 2025 for the Seventh European Union (EU)-African Union Summit. The Africa-EU partnership faces significant challenges, including global geopolitical shifts and shrinking development finance. Central to the EU’s new approach, the Global Gateway strategy aims to mobilise €150 billion by 2027 to boost Africa’s digital connectivity, transport infrastructure, and energy transition. However, questions remain over ownership and whether African priorities are genuinely reflected. To ensure the partnership remains effective, it must deliver on the commitments made at the 2022 summit and strengthen accountability mechanisms. This means addressing persistent challenges in implementation, such as lack of coordination, inconsistent reporting, and data gaps.
The European Parliament has consistently advocated for a people-centred partnership that genuinely benefits both Europeans and Africans.
This briefing provides an insight into the broad context that will set the scene for discussions. Detailed specifics of the four pillars of the partnership are discussed in separate publications: Prosperity (economy and connectivity; natural resources, health, research and education), Peace (security and governance), People (migration and mobility) and Planet (multilateralism).
It is crucial for the next summit to embody a partnership of equals, supporting sustainable development, peace, and prosperity for both continents.
