Amici respectfully submit that the majority’s flawed analysis of international law produced an erroneous conclusion that corporations cannot be held liable for egregious conduct which rises to the level of a violation of the laws of nations, as set forth in Sosa v. Alvarez- Machain...The majority ignored a well-recognized and often-applied source of international law, namely the “general principles of law recognized by civilized nations.” Indeed, the only mention of general principles was in a single footnote, in which the majority incorrectly relegated general principles to a secondary source of international law, and effectively dismissed them as an applicable source of international law.
