The Federal Council sets up a commission for Nazi and colonial looted art. The independent committee of experts aims to ensure legally and ethically responsible handling of contaminated cultural heritage. With the committee, the state government implements a parliamentary mandate.
Dealing with historically contaminated cultural property is an important goal of cultural policy, as the Federal Council announced on Wednesday. It therefore supports the processing of past evidence and fair and just solutions.
Nazi symbols spread: Parliament now calls for a total ban
The independent committee of experts is intended to take on an advisory role on controversial issues. Your recommendations are not binding. The Commission regulation will enter into force on January 1, 2024. Similar committees already exist in Germany, Austria, France, the Netherlands and Great Britain.
During the Nazi era, numerous Jewish cultural assets were directly or indirectly expropriated. Such stolen art also reached Switzerland.
Since the end of World War II, heirs have filed claims for damages and reimbursement. Uncertainties and disputes arise regularly. Even in the context of colonialism, communities of origin demand restitution. (SDA)
