On 1 December 2025, the new Court of Arbitration for Nazi-looted Cultural Property commenced its work, succeeding the Advisory Commission (2003 - November 2025).
While the Advisory Commission could only issue recommendations, the arbitration panel can issue enforceable arbitration awards. The new procedure is not based on a law, but on the Administrative Agreement between the federal government, the Länder and the national associations of local authorities (March 2025). On the basis of this agreement, arbitration rules governing the procedure and an assessment framework for the substantive rules were agreed upon at the administrative level, jointly with the Jewish Claims Conference and the Central Council of Jews in Germany.
The presentation takes the opportunity to introduce the new procedures of the Court of Arbitration for Nazi-looted Cultural Property and its three key actors: the two-person Executive Committee, the 36 arbitrators and the Service Desk.
