Part I examines the historical background underlying government-organized art theft and the looting and destruction of cultural property, including contributing ideological factors, how restitution efforts have developed over time, and the legal landscape governing the outcomes of proceedings involving stolen art and antiquities. Part II analyzes the ramifications of these legal developments, particularly how the law has affected victims’ property rights and answered to the lingering effects of the Holocaust. Further, Part II compares the laws addressing Holocaust-era art claims to treaties governing the ongoing crisis of ISIS-looted cultural property. Part III proposes five reform factors for the newly-implemented HEAR Act to take into consideration in order to allow victims the broadest opportunity to seek restitution: (1) the shifting of the due diligence analysis onto the current possessor of afflicted art, (2) the complete removal of the Act’s federal statute of limitations, (3) alternatively, the substitution of a more favorable demand and refusal rule, (4) providing attorneys’ fees for claimants, and (5) the removal of the Act’s sunset provision. 000042008 525__ $$aPublished in : Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law, vol. 38, no. 1 (2020) 000042008 650_0 $$aIllicit art trade 000042008 650_0 $$aCultural property 000042008 650_0 $$aHolocaust 000042008 650_0 $$aLooting 000042008 650_0 $$aHEAR Act 000042008 85641 $$uhttp://www.cardozoaelj.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/AKHAVAN_NOTE.pdf$$yView this resource 000042008 904__ $$aArticle 000042008 980__ $$aBIB
