Germany has filed a case against Italy at the UN's highest court over attempts within Italy to claim compensation for Nazi-era war crimes.
In a submission to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Germany says Italy continues to allow cases in its domestic courts despite a 2012 ruling that such claims were inadmissible.
It says that, since that ruling, over 25 new cases have been filed in Italy.
In some of those, the courts have ruled that Germany should pay compensation.
Berlin says it is bringing the complaint now because of two ongoing cases that could see properties in Rome owned by the German state seized to finance compensation payments.
A court in Italy says it will decide by 25 May whether to force the sale of certain buildings, some of which house German cultural, historical, and educational institutions.

Oh Dear, a spat among Fascists.
Make them nazis pay. Berlin should have been turned into a parking lot. Instead what happened is that they went on to control Europe via the EU without firing a shot
During WW II the Germans committed some terrible, terrible atrocities on Italian soil. As long as there is even one Italian living who was personally affected, I say let those folks go ahead and sue Germany.
But that’s it. If you weren’t personally affected - if you weren’t there - you have no standing.
Germany did something wrong? When was that. /s
I’m still mad about what Attila did.
Can the jews sue the muslims? Can europe sue the muslims? Can china and japan be sued? Can we sue england?
All my lawyer advisors say “of course”...
Well, the U.S. needed them for the Cold War. Our call.
First I’ve heard of it.
> I’m still mad about what Attila did.<
Interestingly enough, Attila is a popular male first name in Hungary. I don’t think you’d find that sort of thing with “Adolf” in Germany today. I suppose that’s because Attila was a winner while Adolf was a loser.
Have you forgot about Egypt? Who do you think built the pyramids?
Some times its better to let bygones be bygones
Psst…
Pyramids were ancient when the children ofJacob were enslaved…
Some things may come out in discovery not to our advantage but that's the chances you take.
I don’t think you’d find that sort of thing with “Adolf” in Germany today...................... Hmmmmm? There was this guy in Germany named Floda, I wonder?
Heh heh
On today’s FR, hard to tell humor.
Kudos.
More like the Germans needed the U.S to resume ‘warfare by other means’
Some Germans did something.
It’s all about grift with these people.
The Native Americans, Filipinos and Indo-Chinese were unable for comment.
(with apologies to all the good Americans here and everywhere)
