- So far, this postliminy or postliminii (spelling many, definitions few) right to revert without prejudice to a former status or possession does not appear to cover a right to get the property or status back.
- That would mean, if so, that war booty, like theft of artifacts and art from museums upon a victory, need not be returned under that theory. Ongoing interest: disposition further, or leave it be -- as to art taken by Russia from Germany at the close of WWII iin particular, early article highlights situation as of 1995. See http://www.nytimes.com/1995/03/30/arts/hermitage-in-its-manner-displays-its-looted-art.html?pagewanted=all
- Is there a cultural right of return. That affects all the colonial and exploration eras taking of artifacts and so on. Whose museum gets diminished so that another may rise. Complex.
- Cultural right to exist at all? See https://worldwar1worldwar2.blogspot.com/2016/10/right-of-conquest-extended-to.html.
- If so, who enforces. Complex.
