<br/><br/> "Now, for the first time in history, an American court has shown itself willing to let such a suit go to trial to consider whether a U.S. corporation can be penalized for knowingly standing by while its overseas partners--in this case a foreign military--commit abuses, even if the company did not actually direct the abuses itself." (WORLD POLICY JOURNAL) This article examines the use of the Alien Tort Act to help victims of rights abuses by multinational corporations and their partners and relates how this new technique may help enforce human rights internationally.
