An International Claims Commission is a body established to validate and process claims for damages, often related to war or conflict, allowing affected parties to seek compensation from responsible entities.
War damages refer to losses and destruction caused by armed conflict, including physical destruction of property, loss of life, and economic impacts on affected regions or countries.
Compensation in finance typically refers to the payment or reimbursement for losses incurred, which can include damages from legal claims, insurance payouts, or settlements.
