On June 23, 2026, the Supreme Court halted activists from trying to impose massive liability on U.S. entities for “aiding and abetting” a third-party’s alleged human rights violations overseas. The decision was a victory for WLF, which filed an amicus brief urging reversal. In its brief, WLF contended that the Ninth Circuit, by permitting such suits to proceed, 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. The Supreme Court’s decision tracks that reasoning.
