Book Synopsis The Alien Tort Claims Act by : James B. Whisker
Download or read book The Alien Tort Claims Act written by James B. Whisker and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alien Tort Claim Act, aka the Alien Tort Statute, was part of the Judiciary Act of 1789. Only in 1980 did the U.S. federal courts find any significant meaning in it. Initially, the ATCA applied to violations of basic rules of international law, such as piracy. It was applied at the beginning of 1980 to human rights violations. Its meaning was expanded to incorporate liability, but in 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court ended such lawsuits.

Book Synopsis Tort Liability for Human Rights Abuses by : George P Fletcher
Download or read book Tort Liability for Human Rights Abuses written by George P Fletcher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancing a bold theory of the relevance of tort law in the fight against human rights abuses, celebrated US law professor George Fletcher here challenges the community of international lawyers to think again about how they can use the Alien Tort Statute. Beginning with an historical analysis Fletcher shows how tort and criminal law originally evolved to deal with similar problems, how tort came to be seen as primarily concerned with negligence and how the Alien Tort Statute has helped establish the importance of tort law in international cases. In a series of cases starting with Filartiga and culminating most recently in Sosa, Fletcher shows how torture cases led to the reawakening of the Alien Tort Statute, changing US law and giving legal practitioners a tool with which to assist victims of torture and other extreme human rights abuses. This leads to an examination of Agent Orange and the possible commission of war crimes in the course of its utilisation, and the theory of liability for aiding and abetting the US military and other military forces when they commit war crimes. The book concludes by looking at the cutting-edge cases in this area, particularly those involving liability for funding terrorism, and the remedies available, particularly the potential offered by the compensation chamber in the International Criminal Court.

Book Synopsis Awakening Monster by : Gary Clyde Hufbauer
Download or read book Awakening Monster written by Gary Clyde Hufbauer and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the next decade, 100,000 class action Chinese plaintiffs, organized by New York trial lawyers, could sue General Motors, Toyota, General Electric, Mitsubishi, and a host of other blue-chip corporations in a US federal court for abetting China's denial of political rights, for observing China's restrictions on trade unions, and for impairing the Chinese environment. These plaintiffs might claim actual damages of $6 billion and punitive damages of $20 billion. Similar blockbuster cases are already working their way through federal and state court systems. This nightmare scenario could become a reality because of a little-known, one-sentence law enacted in 1789--the Alien Tort Statute (ATS): "The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." In this policy analysis, Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Nicholas K. Mitrokostas examine the chilling impact the ATS could have on trade and foreign direct investment. They trace its history from the original intent to recent court interpretations, including a look at class action suits over asbestos and apartheid. They provide an economic picture of the potential scope of ATS litigation, cite the possible collateral damage, and review the impact that ATS rulings could have on global relations. The authors recommend measures Congress should take to limit expansive court interpretations. The study is a must-read for policymakers, international lawyers, and students.

Book Synopsis International Implications of the Alien Tort Statute by : Gary Clyde Hufbauer
Download or read book International Implications of the Alien Tort Statute written by Gary Clyde Hufbauer and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alien Tort Statute of 1789 (ATS) remained virtually dormant until it was revived by the 1980 decision of the Second Circuit in Filartiga vs. Pena-Irala. Since Filartiga, plaintiffs, who are neither US citizens nor residents, have invoked the ATS for a widening range of claims alleging large damages from acts committed outside the United States. ATS suits are increasingly targeting the deep pockets of multinational corporations. In an upcoming case, Sosa vs. Alvarez-Machain, the US Supreme Court will have to address whether the ATS grants federal courts a flexible power to create new torts corresponding to evolving norms in the 'law of nations'. The authors contend that a broad interpretation of the ATS will make US federal courts agents of judicial imperialism, doing great damage to foreign relations, as well as international trade and investment.

Book Synopsis International Law in the US Legal System by : Curtis A. Bradley
Download or read book International Law in the US Legal System written by Curtis A. Bradley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Law in the U.S. Legal System provides a wide-ranging overview of how international law intersects with the domestic legal system of the United States, and points out various unresolved issues and areas of controversy. Curtis Bradley explains the structure of the U.S. legal system and the various separation of powers and federalism considerations implicated by this structure, especially as these considerations relate to the conduct of foreign affairs. Against this backdrop, he covers all of the principal forms of international law: treaties, executive agreements, decisions and orders of international institutions, customary international law, and jus cogens norms. He also explores a number of issues that are implicated by the intersection of U.S. law and international law, such as treaty withdrawal, foreign sovereign immunity, international human rights litigation, war powers, extradition, and extraterritoriality. This book highlights recent decisions and events relating to the topic, including various actions taken during the Trump administration, while also taking into account relevant historical materials, including materials relating to the U.S. Constitutional founding. Written by one of the most cited international law scholars in the United States, the book is a resource for lawyers, law students, legal scholars, and judges from around the world.
