The main feature in our Autumn 2012 issue asks whether the Parthenon Sculptures on display at the British Museum in London should be returned to Greece. We reported on the Intelligence Squared debate about the Sculptures and looked at the reasons for and against returning them to Greece. You can watch the debate NOW here on the YAC website!!

You can also read exclusive YAC interviews with:
