The Alien Tort Statute (also referred to as the Alien Tort Claims
Act) is a US statute that provides a cause of action for violations
of international law. While originally used against former
dictators and military officials who fled to the U.S. after the
respective governments in their home countries have been removed,
human rights activists are now targeting transnational corporations
or multinational enterprises for human rights violations in
connection with their investments made outside the United States.
This book examines and analyzes corporate liability under the Alien
Tort Statute.
