#Internationallaw Twitter - canvassing ideas - what do you think are the most important issues today - as practice areas go, in academia, across various sectors - themes you come across in your work? A bit vague but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

U.S. law often treats corporations like natural persons. E.g., they have important constitutional rights and they can be criminally prosecuted. But if a foreign corp. is an agent of foreign gov., is it entitled to official immunity? @ProfBillDodge

In two recent decisions that are 👀🤦♀️🤯, the 6th and 7th circuits used FNC to dismiss anti-corruption suits brought by Mexico against US corps in accord with the UN Convention against Corruption. Read @maggiekgardner's post for FNC run amok:

A thread on today's Cassirer decision, over at @TL_Blog - more to come soon on TLB!
21 Apr 2022
Sup. Ct. unanimously holds in Cassirer v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Fdn. that state choice-of-law rules apply in FSIA actions involving non-federal claims. It's the latest in a 20-year court battle over a Pissarro painting expropriated by Nazis. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21…

In important sanctions-related litigation, I argue that central bank immunity protects Afghan assets in New York and that courts should refuse to order turnover of those assets to satisfy judgments against the Taliban. @ianmkysel @KeitnerLaw @S_R_Anders
19 Apr 2022
With the Taliban now in power, terrorism victims with U.S. judgments against the Taliban want access to Afghan Central Bank assets currently frozen in the U.S. @WuerthIngrid explains why those bank assets should remain shielded by sovereign immunity:

A great post up by @zclopton on climate change litigation. State and local governments as plaintiffs, federal common law (!), SMJ, removal, and more.

For anyone interested in human rights litigation, the ATS, federal common law, or just the history of US foreign relations law, read this 👎 by @ProfBillDodge about @curtisabradley and @jacklgoldsmith.
