TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out that the obligation to compensate does not extend to regulations imposed by the host country, such as placing restrictions on the legal use of property that do not actually remove the owner's title to the property, but nevertheless substantially affect its value.

Abstract: This paper discusses a problem that might at first glance appear to be either non-existent or unimportant: wrongful conviction by fingerprinting.
