Summary note

A file containing documents concerning Italian and Allied claims to Albanian gold seized by the Nazis during the Second World War and subsequently taken into custody by the Allies after the occupation of Germany. The file includes a discussion of an Italian proposal to settle the claims outside of the International Court of Justice (I.C.J.) -- an exchange between the British government and the I.C.J. on the submission of an application regarding the case -- a discussion of the possibility of extending the deadline for the submission of a memorandum to the I.C.J. -- and a text of the American government's submission to the I.C.J. concerning the case. Other documents include a report outlining the background of the case and the possible outcomes of the I.C.J. procedure -- and records of a Parliamentary Question concerning compensation for the death of British sailors in Albania.
