Notice of Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the 
Government of the Republic of Belize

    Belize, concerned that its cultural heritage is in jeopardy from 
pillage, made a request to the Government of the United States under 
Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO Convention. United States Department of 
State received this request in September 2011. Belize's request seeks 
U.S. import restrictions on archaeological material from Belize 
representing its Pre-Colombian heritage dating from the Preceramic 
(9000 B.C.) through the Spanish Colonial period (A.D. 1798).
    The specific contents of this request are treated as confidential 
government-to-government information.
    Information about U.S. implementation of the 1970 UNESCO Convention 
can be found at http://exchanges.state.gov/heritage. A public summary 
of Belize's request will be posted on that Web site.

    Dated: September 30, 2011.
Ann Stock,
Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs, 
Department of State.
