I understand non retroactive part. But claiming stolen gold now - I do not think it should ever be legal. On top of that it is simple disgusting. Really shows what their values are. Enlightened society my ass. They should be shown middle finger.
- seoaeu 4y agoI think the claim is that back then the law was “finders keepers” so it shouldn’t retroactively be called theft. Personally I don’t find that argument very compelling.
- adastra22 4y agoIt was never stolen though. Wars of conquest and slavery were perfectly legal under international law at the time. I agree it’s a dick move by Spain and really tarnishes their reputation today. But that’s not a legal argument.
