Since the mid-1990s the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as German courtstreat confiscated Liechtenstein property in the territory of the former Czechoslovakiain the same manner as German-owned assets outside Germany which have been used forward the discharge of German war reparations. Germany refuses to compensate Liechtenstein for this. The Principality of Liechtenstein considers that, as a result of German action since the mid-1990s, its sovereignty is being disregarded and that the property rights of its citizens are being violated. Liechtenstein is therefore calling on the International Court of Justice to establish that Germany be held liable in accordance with public international law. The Federal Republic of Germany, in the Principality's view, should be obliged to pay compensation for the damage and losses incurred. Additional information:
