Published: Dec. 7, 2020, 2 p.m.

A case in which the Court held that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act’s expropriation exception, 28 U.S.C. §1605(a)(3), incorporates the domestic takings rule, which recognizes that a foreign sovereign’s taking of its own nationals’ property is not a violation of international law.
