Onder 2.12. Rechtbank Den Haag 1 juni 2022

“ Some question has arisen as to the interpretation of the reference in article 14(b) to “claims of Allied Powers and their nationals” which the Allied Powers agree to waive. It is my Governments view that article 14(b) as a matter of correct interpretation does not involve the expropriation by each Allied Government of the private claims of its nationals so that after the Treaty comes into force these claims will be non-existent. The question is important because some Governments, including my own, are under certain limitations of constitutional and other governing laws as to confiscating or expropriating private claims by allied nationals. Also, there are certain types of private claims by allied nationals, which we would assume the Japanese Government might want voluntarily to deal with in its own way as a matter of good conscience or of enlightened expediency. ”
