Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. On June 1, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Samantar v. Yousef that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), which governs the immunity of foreign states in U.S. courts, does not apply in suits against foreign officials. The ruling clarifies that officials of foreign governments, whether present or former, are not entitled to invoke the FSIA as a shield, unless the foreign state is the real party in interest in the case. The ruling leaves open the possibility that foreign officials have recourse to other sources of immunity or other defenses to jurisdiction or the merits of a lawsuit. Contents: Introduction; The FSIA; Circuit Split on Foreign Official Immunity; ¿Samantar v. Yousef¿; The FSIA: Post ¿Samantar¿; Options for Official Immunity Following ¿Samantar¿.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical and legal hurdles, including the difficulty of locating hidden Al Qaeda members and the unfeasibility of enforcing judgements in terrorism cases, hinder victims' attempts to establish liability in U.S. courts against, and recover financially from, those they argue are directly responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks. Instead, victims have sued numerous individuals and entities with only indirect ties to the attacks, including defendants who allegedly provided monetary support to Al Qaeda prior to September 11 2001. This book summarises the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) and jurisdiction in cases against foreign defendants and analyses the recent court of appeals decision.
