Britain Italy dispute over Albanian gold at The Hague
The International Court of Justice ruled it lacked competence to decide whether £800000 worth of Albanian gold should go to Britain or Italy. The gold, held in Britain, stems from 1943 events in Rome. Italy claimed priority based on Albania's confiscation of the National Bank assets tied to Italian capital. Britain claimed compensation for 44 Royal Navy deaths caused by Albanian mines in the Corfu Channel. The fate will be settled by negotiations. the court decision may ultimately favor Britain. The ruling shows Italy’s claim did not materialize, potentially triggering prior arrangements for the gold.
