Libtech,
Today the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that seriously limited the scope of the Alien Tort Statute on human rights cases. ATS was the grounds that Iranians attempted to sue Nokia Siemens Networks for their sale of lawful intercept, claims of liabilities for selling surveillance to China, and the Turkcell v. MTN case was waiting on the decision[3], so this should matter to many on the list. I was hoping that perhaps we could pull out some comments from our colleagues in CSR and legal communities. Cordially, Collin [1] http://www.dw.de/nokia-siemens-lawsuit-dropped-by-iranian-plaintiffs/a-6240017 [2] http://www.economist.com/node/18986482 [3] http://blogs.wsj.com/corruption-currents/2012/10/12/judge-stays-turkcell-lawsuit-citing-supreme-court-case/ -- *Collin David Anderson* averysmallbird.com | @cda | Washington, D.C.
