Sejm: Book now closed on displaced persons' property rights claims

The declaration is a response to some of the claims made in Germany regarding individuals seeking the rights to properties in the West of the country that were taken over by Poles after World War Two. The declaration was passed by the lower house of Parliament with a substantial majority. Furthermore, the Sejm obligated the government to negotiate inclusion of this declaration in the European constitution. (Rzeczpospolita, Mar. 13-14, p. A13) T.J.
