Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The doctrine of sovereign immunity allows a domestic court to give up jurisdiction it holds over a foreign enterprise, which is known as sovereign immunity from jurisdiction. This means that foreign sovereigns cannot be sued in domestic courts without their consent, and thus a domestic court may decline to exercise jurisdiction over a foreign sovereign. Option A is incorrect because it describes the principle of diplomatic immunity rather than sovereign immunity. Option B is incorrect because the International Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction over all claims against foreign sovereigns, and domestic businesses cannot take all claims against foreign sovereigns to the International Court of Justice. Option D is incorrect because foreign courts do not have jurisdiction over U.S. government departments due to the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Option E is also incorrect because it describes the principle of eminent domain rather than sovereign immunity.
