LIABLE Act
This bill amends U.S. law to remove jurisdictional immunity for international organizations in cases involving terrorism. It allows U.S. courts to hear lawsuits seeking damages for personal injury or death caused by an international organization's official employees who provided material support for acts like aircraft sabotage, hostage taking, or extrajudicial killings - specifically when the organization aided a designated foreign terrorist group. Claims can be filed only by U.S. nationals, military personnel, or government contractors injured in such acts, or if the organization has a U.S. presence. The bill sets a 20-year statute of limitations for filing such claims.
