during the colonial era (hereinafter ‘colonial objects’) and of the dispute resolution
means that may be used to achieve it. It starts by portraying the special significance
of colonial objects for nations and communities. Next, it looks at restitution, as a
facet of both restorative justice and transitional justice and as the most satisfactory
form of reparation. It then examines the obstacles that claimants face when trying
to recover colonial objects. Finally, the article argues that restitution claims should
be resolved through procedures alternative to litigation, the so-called alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, because these mechanisms make it possible
to achieve the objectives typically pursued through restorative justice and transitional
justice processes, namely dialogue, truth, reparation and reconciliation.

It will thus dwell upon the relationships between public and private interests, on the one hand, and between
international and domestic legal orders, on the other. Its purpose is to map out and discuss the most salient problems about the involvement of non-state actors—particularly non-governmental organizations [NGOs] and private companies—in the monitoring and implementation of the WHC.
