Immunity and Treaty Accession
Merely by signing an international agreement a foreign nation does not submit its domestically-operating instrumentalities to exceptions from immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decided in a Warsaw Convention matter on February 1, 2008. In Gail I. Auster et al. vs. Ghana Airways Ltd. et al., docket number 05-7141, the court found that the lower court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction for claims resulting from a plane crash in Ghana. -- Clemens Kochinke, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
