Summary note

A file containing documents concerning Italian and British claims to Albanian gold seized by the Nazis during the Second World War.

The file also includes a discussion of whether the Italian government would agree to accept the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice if the case is brought to the courts -- and a report about a recently signed Italian-Albanian reparations agreement.
