They should sue as anyone else can for goods back, if they have proof they own it .

There have been many articles written about this, you should read them. But in some of the more egregious cases, I would ask you this: how do you sue a government for plundered art when the government has passed laws that prevent you from suing the government?
You're talking about publicly possessed (stolen or not) art where the public won't vote to allow consideration of patriating the art abroad?
You said lawsuit. In many countries, a lawsuit is not feasible.
I said sue, not lawsuit. In some countries you use a lawsuit. In others, it merely means to seek legal redress such as petitioning a dictator.
Suing is the same as bringing a lawsuit. You're ineffectually splitting hairs. Still likely not effective. What's your point?
You've pointed to 'many' countries and also to laws stopping this. Now you've evaluated likelihood. Since you were able to drive a likelihood calculus, what specific laws were you calculating against?
Impose tariffs on their exports.
