Description
This case involves a lawsuit brought under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act ("FSIA"), 28 U.S.C. ss 1330, 1602-1611 (1999), by two American citizens who sued the Socialist Peoples Libyan Arab Jamahiriya ("Libya") for torture and hostage taking. Plaintiffs lawsuit seeks cover under a recent amendment to the FSIA which strips certain foreign states including Libya of their sovereign immunity in American courts when they engage in such conduct. See 28 U.S.C. s 1605(a)(7).
