Havana Docks Corp. v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. · ¶15

As relevant here, the Act also sought to “deter trafficking in wrongfully confscated property.” §6081(11). Congress found that the Cuban Government had allowed foreign investors to use confscated property to secure “badly needed financial benefit” for the regime, contrary to the American foreign policy goals of undermining the Castro regime and compensating United States nationals. §§ 6081(5), (6). Congress further found that the “international judicial system” failed to provide “fully effective remedies . . . for unjust enrichment from the use of wrongfully confscated property by . . . private entities.” § 6081(8). So, in Title III of the Act, Congress “endowed” American victims of confscation “with a judicial remedy in the courts of the United States.” § 6081(11).
