Mckesson V Iran

Mckesson v Iran in 2011

United States views on international law (based on the document “Digest of U.S. Practice in International Law”): On July 27, 2011, the United States filed a brief as amicus curiae in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in the case McKesson Corp. v. Islamic Republic of Iran, No. 10-7174. The United States brief presented three arguments relating to U.S. interests implicated in the case. The section of the brief relating to the act of state doctrine is excerpted below (with most footnotes and citations to the record omitted). The section of the brief discussing the commercial activity exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act (“FSIA”) is discussed in information on Privileges and Immunities in this legal Encyclopedia. A final section of the brief, not excerpted, presented the United States' view that the Treaty of Amity between the U.S. and Iran did not preclude the litigation. The U.S. amicus brief is available at (internet link) state.gov/s/l/c8183.htm.***
