"Fair and just?"

About this book
The Washington Principles of 1998 call for "just and fair solutions" in dealing with "Nazi-looted art". The United Kingdom implemented this call in 2000 by establishing the Spoliation Advisory Panel (SAP), which has since provided a dispute-resolution mechanism to respond to claims made by entitled parties. This publication looks at the 22 recommendations that the panel has issued to date. The decisions are analyzed against the background of English legal tradition and practice as well as the historical role of the United Kingdom, systematized and presented in an abstract set of rules. Visualized in this way, the SAP's decision-making principles can be taken as the basis for further discussion and comparison with other countries’ restitution practices.
