The Alien Tort Claims Act allows for foreign plaintiffs to bring claims against U.S. corporations in U.S. courts for alleged human rights violations committed abroad. As U.S.-based MNCs expand their global operations, they may find themselves named as defendants in such cases, particularly if they operate in countries with repressive governments where human rights abuses are more likely to occur.
