The conditions for bringing a lawsuit against a foreign state. The Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing is chaired by senator Lindsey Graham of south carolina. Generally speaking, we have a foreign sovereign immunities act , basically shutting off lawsuits against other nations because whatever we do to them, they can do to us. We made exceptions to it.

A reference to the nature of the court of conduct and a particular transaction or act. China was engaged in commercial activity, including the production, purchasing, import and export of ppes. Even essentially nationalizing the manufacturing. We believe this exception is workable and that is why i am proceeding with our lawsuit. Now, certainly the amendments of the Foreign Policy immune act would be helpful. Providing additional exceptions provides us broader
