Restriction of Property Rights: Expropriation, Nationalization

Abstract

Everyone has the right to own and use their lawfully acquired property, and no one shall be deprived of their property, except in the public interest, under the conditions laid down by law and as a result of the payment of a fair amount of compensation. I will attempt to perform a non-exhaustive, brief analysis of how well this has been achieved over the last hundred years. Furthermore, I am looking for the answer as to what extent the restitution provides full compensation in the case of nationalized real estates.
