from Morning Edition, Tuesday , June 08, 2004
The U.S. Supreme Court rules that an American woman can file suit in U.S.
courts against the Austrian government to seek the return of six Gustav
Klimt paintings seized by Nazis during the World War II era. The 6-to-3
ruling could have profound implications for suits involving seized property
and human rights violations committed by foreign governments.
