Summary
Since the 1980s, perpetrators of human rights violations have been sued in U.S. Federal Courts based on the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA). The ATCA, however, is a controversial tool for the enforcement of international human rights. Inga Meyer analyzes the controversies surrounding alien tort litigation.
