Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in CISCO Systems, Inc. v. Doe that corporations and government officials can no longer be sued under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) for aiding human rights violations like torture and extrajudicial murder. The case involved allegations that CISCO provided surveillance technology to Chinese authorities, facilitating the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, including torture and detention.
