Despite the fact that the Act S.447 is an act of American domestic law, it is important for United States’ foreign policy towards covered countries. Its specific repercussion are difficult to predict. The Act contains a negative assessment of the Polish legislation and its execution within restitution of properties nationalised during the period of the Holocaust and within the provisions regarding nationalisation issued by communist authorities after 1944, in the context of targets and assumptions of the Holocaust Era Assets Conference 2009. The currently binding Polish legislation, as well as administrative and judicial practice do not meet criteria set out in the Act S.447. Despite that critical assessment, a satisfaction from Poland’s property which is situated on USA’s territory, is impossible due to judicial and execution immunity applying to that property.
