re: #39 avanti

The court was just following precedent dealing with the

Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

Then the four princes should in fact be able to be sued under this part of the act.

” The FSIA also excludes lifts immunity in cases involving certain counterclaims (§ 1607) and admiralty claims (§ 1605(b)). In addition, exceptions for torture, extrajudicial killing, aircraft sabotage and hostage-taking were added by amendment to the FSIA in connection with the Anti-terrorism law and updated again in 2008.”
