BRIEF OF AMICI CURIAE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, ACCOUNTABILITY COUNSEL, CENTER FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, CENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, GLOBAL WITNESS, INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTABLITY PROJECT, ERICA R. GOULD, AND JENNIFER M. GREEN IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERS
This amicus curiae brief, submitted by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and other organizations, argues that the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA) should be interpreted under a "restrictive theory" of immunity. The brief contends that international organizations, such as the International Finance Corporation (IFC), should be immune from suits relating to governmental acts but not from those relating to commercial activities, aligning the IOIA with the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA).
