Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S. A. (Cuba) · ¶59

It would be odd to read the Act as an empty threat against Cuba given that Congress, in the text of the Act, deliberately “endowed” U. S. nationals “with a judicial remedy in the courts of the United States.” §6081(11). In the Act, Congress repeatedly decried the unlawful taking and continued exploitation of property by the Castro regime. §§6081(2), (3), (5), (6). And Congress supplied U. S. nationals with a cause of action because the “international judicial system, as currently structured, lacks fully effective remedies for the wrongful confiscation of property and for unjust enrichment from the use of wrongfully confiscated property by governments.” §6081(8) (emphasis added).
