The United Nations' highest
court in The Hague has ruled
that Germany has legal
immunity from Nazi war crimes
in foreign courts --
preventing victims from
seeking compensation in their
own countries.
The International Court of Justice said Italy's Supreme Court violated Germany's sovereignty in 2008 when it judged that an Italian citizen was entitled to reparation for deportation and forced labour. The ruling is expected to end a wave of compensation claims from Italy and Greece. |
