- W52547132 abstract "Recent decisions by the United States Supreme Court as to the international reach of American antitrust and securities statutes have engendered significant debate about the appropriate extraterritorial application of federal law. Such debates have also slowly come to include some mention of the right application of state law beyond U.S. boundaries through long-arm statutes. The arguments of different commentators and jurists universally support careful consideration of the implications of prescribing rule of U.S. law to foreign conduct, absent an appropriate basis in international law and practice. The time is now right, therefore, to consider how these debates affect statute that combines federal and state law and potentially prescribes both of those sources of law abroad in the same action: The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). This Article discusses the provision under FSIA's commercial activities exception. It argues that the jurisprudence interpreting the appropriate reach of that provision has become confusing and unworkable, and advocates reinterpretation in light of the ongoing larger discussion about extraterritoriality in the federal and state law contexts. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION I. RELEVANT ASPECTS OF FSIA II. THE DEBATE OVER EXTRATERRITORIALITY A. General Principles under International Law B. The Debate in the Supreme Court C. Scholarly Debate on Determining the Prescriptive Reach of Statutes Generally D. Scholarship on FSIA's Direct Effect Provision III. PHASES OF FSIA-EFFECTS LITIGATION IN THE U.S. COURTS IV. RECONCEPTUALIZATION OF FSIA'S PRESCRIPTIVE REACH AND A PROPOSAL FOR INTEGRATION A. Prescription of Foreign Conduct by U.S. Federal Foreign Sovereign Immunity Standards B. Prescription of Foreign Conduct by Federal or State Law CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION The extraterritorial application of U.S. law and regulation to conduct in another nation is neither new (1) nor simple matter. (2) The regulatory state and its influence over sensitive matters, such as personal finance, food and drugs, and Internet communications, coupled with the continued transnationalization of business and human relations, mean that countries must always be concerned with what goes on abroad and how it will affect the state and society in the United States. (3) Where and according to what law we will hold accountable those across sovereign boundaries who poison our food, (4) crash and spy on our computers, (5) steal our hard-earned savings, (6) and even break our hearts (7) are by no means insignificant questions. Nor, for that matter, are they questions that our legal system is close to answering. For these reasons, debates over the extraterritorial application of statutes and extension of court jurisdiction (8) have been very significant over the last several years, particularly in the areas of federal employment law, (9) antitrust, (10) and securities statutes. (11) These federal statutes are not the only ones to engender such controversy. The extraterritorial provision of the commercial activities exception of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (FSIA) (12) has also led to hundreds of judicial opinions over the last thirty-six years and great deal of confusion and debate. Specifically, the provision (hereinafter the effect provision), which allows for jurisdiction and suit over foreign sovereign or related entity when commercial activity abroad causes a direct effect in the United States, has led courts to struggle with related larger issues, such as those of extraterritoriality, under both international and U.S. law and the procedural due process concerns of reaching beyond sovereign borders without the defendant having relevant and reasonable connection to the forum in which the litigation is brought. (13) Federal Courts of Appeals have tried numerous methods to add meaning to the direct effect provision in FSIA, provision which is textually rather bare-bones. …" @default.
