| Summary, etc. |
"In 1789, George Washington signed the nation's first Judiciary Act, which in a single sentence opened U.S. courts to foreigners. For the next 190 years, the provision would be used but a handful of times, effectively becoming relegated to the recesses of history. And there it might well have remained, had it not been for a New York attorney named Peter Weiss." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article describes the history of using the Alien Tort Claims Act to hold foreigners responsible in U.S. courts for rights violations that occurred overseas. |
