Cisco Systems v. Doe I
On February 25, 2026, WLF asked the Supreme Court to halt activists from trying to impose massive liability on U.S. entities for “aiding and abetting” a third-party’s alleged human rights violations overseas. In its brief urging reversal, WLF contends that the Ninth Circuit, by permitting such suits to proceed, has disregarded both the Constitution’s and the Supreme Court’s crucial limits on a federal court’s ability to imply a new cause of action under the ATS and the TVPA. As WLF’s brief shows, whether these statutes implicitly supply a remedy for aiding and abetting is a decision that belongs to Congress, not the Judiciary.
