Poland Restitution law

Subject – IR

Context – Israel condemns Poland restitution law

Concept –

It restricts the rights of Holocaust survivors or their descendants to reclaim property seized by the country’s former communist regime.
The law itself says nothing about the Holocaust or Second World War. Instead it establishes that any administrative decision issued 30 years ago or more can no longer be challenged, meaning that property owners who had their homes or business seized in the communist era can no longer get compensation.
