The law facilitates the return of items unlawfully possessed by Austrian federal institutions that were acquired during the Nazi regime ProvenienzforschungKunstdatenbank. A Commission for Provenance Research systematically investigates collections to identify looted objects. A 2009 amendment expanded the scope to cover all moveable cultural property confiscated across the German Reich between 1933-1945. However, the law has limitations: it only applies to federal collections, not private holdings or the art trade, and grants buyers &#8220;undisturbed right to possess&#8221; objects without facing restitution claims.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":1},"country":[230],"framework-type":[211],"class_list":["post-5925","policy-record","type-policy-record","status-publish","hentry","country-austria","framework-type-national-frameworks"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/policy-record\/5925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/policy-record"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/policy-record"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=5925"},{"taxonomy":"framework-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openrestitution.africa\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/framework-type?post=5925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
