Overview

In 1998, France was one of the 44 signatory states of the Washington Declaration. This study examines to what extent the Republic has fulfilled its obligations under this declaration by evaluating the extensive case practice. In contrast to other states, France has several legal instruments and procedures for the restitution of Nazi looted art: in addition to laws from the immediate post-war period that are still in force today, further regulations were created after 1998 – most recently the Restitution Act in 2023. The publication presents these legal instruments in a systematic manner and analyzes them from a comparative law perspective. In doing so, it also provides important points of reference for the restitution debate in Germany and other countries.
