New French restitution law – text, legislative process, and comments

Marie-Sophie de Clippele (thanks for the links): 'Let's celebrate this historic moment, the stage is important and the signal is strong.'

Many aspects deserve a critical analysis, whether it is the exclusion of certain objects (military, excavations, etc.) or the amendments making restitution conditional on the principles of conservation (amendment 8), or on the issues of proving wrongfulness.

De Clippele wonders whether the new French law would have enough to revive the application of Belgian restitution law, which is still awaiting bilateral treaties with the DRC, Rwanda and/or Burundi?
