Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that prevents foreign states who enter into or support multilateral oil associations from utilizing sovereign immunity within US courts.

  • Declares that any foreign state violating this act is not immune under the doctrine of sovereign immunity from being tried or convicted in a US court of law.
