Binghamton University alumnus and litigator Owen Pell \u201880 will discuss \u201cThe Fate of Art Looted During the Holocaust\u201d on Friday, November 20, at the Binghamton University Forum, held at the Binghamton Club located at 81 Front Street in downtown Binghamton.
\nPell\u2019s areas of practice include litigation involving foreign sovereigns and their state-owned entities, litigation involving issues of public international law and bankruptcy litigation. He has conducted internal investigations with regard to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, fraud, and historical reparation issues.
\nAmong Pell\u2019s achievements are the formulation of a proposal to create a clearinghouse and dispute resolution entity to address claims related to art looted during the Holocaust, which the European Parliament adopted in 2004.
\nPell has published widely on the subject of Holocaust-looted art and was invited to present a public lecture to the New York State Court of Appeals relating to Holocaust-looted art claims. In June 2009, he was part of the U.S. Delegation to the Holocaust Era Assets Conference held in Prague. The conference concluded with the adoption of the Terezin Declaration, which includes several actions Pell has long advocated.<\/p>\n
