Abstract
Part I of this Note will discuss the concepts of sovereignty, state responsibility for injuries to aliens, and compensation for expropriation under international law. Part II will examine United States policy on expropriations and explore how United States citizens may seek redress for foreign property loss in United States courts. Part III will argue that, under an international legal analysis, the United States would be liable in cases such as Ramirez and Langenegger, and will propose a standard for determining when the United States should compensate its citizens for foreign property loss. Next, this Note will conclude that the United States should assume responsibility for foreign property loss by its citizens when its activities in the foreign territory directly or indirectly caused the loss. Finally, this Note will conclude that the United States should assume responsibility for foreign property loss by its citizens when its activities in the foreign territory directly or indirectly cause the loss.
