THE FOREIGN RELATIONS LAW OF THE
UNITED STATES 3D
PART I. INTERNATIONAL LAW AND ITS RELATION TO UNITED STATES LAW
CHAPTER 1. INTERNATIONAL LAW: CHARACTER AND SOURCES
§ 102. Sources of International Law
D.D.C.2021. Subsec. (2) quot. in case quot. in sup. Successor-in-interest of multinational corporation
brought an action under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act against Cuban state-owned
companies, alleging that defendants used property expropriated from plaintiff's wholly-owned
subsidiary by the government of Cuba. This court granted in part defendants' motion to dismiss, holding
that the court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over plaintiff's claims, because the expropriation of the
property of plaintiff's subsidiary did not provide an exception to sovereign immunity under the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act. The court reasoned that the expropriation did not take plaintiff's property
right in violation of international law, as defined by Restatement Third of Foreign Relations Law §
102(2), because Cuba did not take over the entire enterprise of subsidiary. Exxon Mobil Corporation v.
Corporaci6n CIMEX S.A., 534 F.Supp.3d 1, 27, 28.
§ 103. Evidence of International Law
D.D.C.2021. Com. (b) quot. in sup. Successor-in-interest of multinational corporation brought an action
under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act against Cuban state-owned companies, alleging
that defendants used property expropriated from plaintiff's wholly-owned subsidiary by the government
of Cuba. This court granted in part defendants' motion to dismiss, holding that plaintiff did not possess a
property right in subsidiary's expropriated property such that an exception to foreign sovereign
immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act applied, because Cuba did not take over the
entirety of subsidiary's enterprise. Quoting Restatement Third of Foreign Relations Law § 103,
Comment b, the court observed that, in determining whether the total destruction of subsidiary's assets
was necessary for a finding that plaintiff was deprived of a property right, it afforded great weight to the
views of the International Court of Justice. Exxon Mobil Corporation v. Corporaci6n CIMEX S.A., 534
F.Supp.3d 1, 28.
