• Allows any defendant to move such a case to the appropriate federal district court, which must dismiss it.
• Leaves unaffected claims by victims of terrorism, torture, extrajudicial killing, aircraft sabotage, or hostage taking who are U.S. nationals or government-related, and contract disputes resolved in U.S. courts or U.S. arbitration.
