I am interested in investigating whether there is an emerging duty to make restitution for properties taken. Ultimately I would like to see if such obligation might apply to nationalizations such as took place in Cuba. I would appreciate it if you could share with me any available sources for the premise of an obligation to make restitution. My sense is that most materials would be from Germany & Italy re takings as well as from other Eastern European states. Thanks in advance for your help. Saludos. Berta

Nissan v. Attorney-General [1968] 1 QB 286
Burmah Oil v. Lord Advocate [1965] AC 75

These are the foundation cases in the UK.
