Articles on whether corporations can be sued under the Alien Tort Statute and related issues

Last week I posted (here) an announcement of an upcoming on line symposium on Kiobel v Royal Dutch Petroleum, the case currently pending before the Supreme Court on whether a corporation can be sued under the Alien Tort Statute.  All the contributions to the symposium are now available.  Here are links to all of them:

The Alien Tort Statute and the law of nations

Precedents, pirates, and the presumption against extraterritoriality

The Alien Tort Statute, Kiobel, and standard tools of statutory interpretation

Kiobel, “vigilant doorkeeping,” and the parochial purposes of the Alien Tort Statute

International law and Alien Tort Statute litigation

Kiobel and the original meaning of the Alien Tort Statute

A brave new world of transnational human rights litigation

The Alien Tort Statute and the foreign relations fallacy

The Alien Tort Statute as a species of extraterritorial U.S. law

The ATS is in good company

The Alien Tort Statute and the importance of historical evidence

For ATS claims, universal jurisdiction isn’t the answer
