Basic Rules of Foreign Sovereign Immunities Application

In the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976

According to research about Exclusivity from the Federal Judicial Center:In Argentine Republic v. Amerada Hess Shipping Corp., the U.S. Supreme Court held that “the FSIA provides the sole basis for obtaining jurisdiction over a foreign state in federal court . . . . “11 In so doing, the Court rejected the argument that preexisting jurisdictional provisions (including the Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1350, and general admiralty and maritime jurisdictional statutes) authorized alternative and independent bases for suit against foreign states for violations of international law. Thus, if the defendant qualifies as a “foreign state,” the suit must be adjudicated under the FSIA.
