Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S. A. (Cuba) · ¶8

In 1996, to afford victims of “Castro’s wrongful seizures” a “judicial remedy in the courts of the United States,” Congress passed and President Clinton signed the Helms- Burton Act, formally known as the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act. §301, 110 Stat. 815, 22 U. S. C. §6081. That Act created a private right of action for U. S. nationals whose property was unlawfully confiscated: They may sue Cuban agencies and instrumentalities that possess, use, or otherwise traffic in the confiscated property.
