A comprehensive analysis would require a book-length treatment or a series of lengthy law review articles. Rather than embarking upon an exhaustive-treatment of all past and future ATS litigation, this essay provides an overview of the Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain decisions’ guidelines and suggests an approach to understanding the interrelationships among federal statutory law, federal common law, and international law in ATS litigation.en-USfederal common lawtortsinternational lawAlien Tort Statutefederal courtsCongresscause of actionforeign relationsSosa v.
