(United States Supreme Court) - Held that an international organization did not have as much immunity from lawsuits as it contended it did. The U.
S.-headquartered organization was being sued in connection with its financing of a development project in India that allegedly created damaging pollution. The U.
S. Supreme Court concluded that the organization's immunity was the same as foreign governments enjoy nowadays under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, in a 7-1 decision interpreting the International Organizations Immunities Act. Chief Justice Roberts delivered the Court's opinion. Justice Kavanaugh took no piece in the decision.
