Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S. A. (Cuba) · ¶88

The Cuban government defendants point out, however, that the Helms-Burton Act directly amended the FSIA to add an exception to its execution-immunity provisions, which ensured execution immunity for foreign nations’ diplomatic property. See 110 Stat. 818. But execution and jurisdictional immunity are separate concepts. See Republic of Argentina v. NML Capital, Ltd., 573 U. S. 134, 142 (2014). So Congress’s choice to amend the FSIA’s provisions on execution immunity tells us nothing about whether Congress supplanted the FSIA with respect to jurisdictional immunity.
