The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) gives families and survivors of the Sept. 11 attacks an avenue to pursue justice in American courts against Saudi Arabia, for what they believe is its connection to the terrorist attack. “Potentially any nation could be sued,” says law professor Curtis Bradley.

A bill is advancing through Congress that aims to expose Saudi Arabia to lawsuits in American courts for its alleged connection to the 9/11 attacks. Such a move would not only harm relations between the two countries, but violate a core principle of international law, write law professor Curtis Bradley and a colleague.
