In the interim, in 2010, the Supreme Court restricted the types of claims that could be heard under the Alien Tort Statute in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, a case involving allegations of human rights abuses by Royal Dutch Shell in Nigeria.

Royal Dutch Petroleum for when suits arising out of injuries inflicted overseas can be heard in U.S. courts. read more
