handle is hein.ali/rethdfr0036 and id is 1 raw text is: THE FOREIGN RELATIONS LAW OF THE UNITED STATES 3D PART I. INTERNATIONAL LAW AND ITS RELATION TO UNITED STATES LAW CHAPTER 2. STATUS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND AGREEMENTS IN UNITED STATES LAW § 112. Determination and Interpretation of International Law: Law of the United States S.D.Fla.2016. Com. (c) cit. in sup. Consumers brought an action against, among others, Japanese corporations that manufactured vehicles sold in the United States, alleging that the vehicles contained defective airbags. This court granted plaintiffs' motion for entry of an order directing service of process under the Hague Convention on defendants because defendants did not have an appointed registered agent for service of process in the United States. The court held that the Hague Convention permitted U.S. legal documents to be served by direct mail, absent objection by the destination country, and, citing Restatement Third of Foreign Relations Law § 112, Comment c, explained that, in construing treaties, it gave special weight to the view of the U.S. State Department, which had expressly set forth its position that service of process by direct mail in Japan was permitted. Leon v. Continental AG, 176 F.Supp.3d 1315, 1319. PART II. PERSONS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW CHAPTER 1. STATES § 201. State Defined C.A.2, 2016. Cit. in case cit. in sup. Victims of terrorist attacks linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran, against which victims held unsatisfied money judgments, asserted jurisdiction under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) in order to bring a claim to enforce these judgments against New York-based companies with connections to Iran. The district court entered summary judgment for plaintiffs. Reversing, this court held that because defendants lacked many of the attributes of statehood, including a defined territory and population, self-governance and foreign relations, and the capacity to wage war and enter into international agreements, defendants did not qualify as a foreign state under the FSIA. In construing the term foreign state, the court looked to the definition of state set forth in Restatement Third of Foreign Relations Law § 201. Kirschenbaum v. 650 Fifth Avenue and Related Properties, 830 F.3d 107, 124. A L For earlier citations, see the Appendices, Supplements, or Pocket Parts, if any, that correspond to the subject matter under examination.
