A report by the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO) reveals that over half of the countries endorsing the Washington Principles have made "little or no progress" in returning Nazi-looted art in the 25 years since the principles were drafted. While some countries have made major or substantial progress, many have not conducted historical research on restitution, looked into the provenance of their collections, or established a process for claims. The report also highlights the need for transparency, improved provenance research, and facilitating restitution claims, especially for private collectors. The release of the report coincided with an event in New York where the US Secretary of State endorsed best practices in art and cultural-property restitution, marking the first governmental document on Holocaust restitution to be endorsed in nearly 15 years.
