Authors : Ziaya Rima . Toulgui Ladi .
Abstract
This article critically examines the 2016 Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) passed by the U.S. Congress, focusing on its limitations and analyzing its impact on national security, international relations, and the delicate balance between justice and diplomacy. JASTA’s broad application raises concerns about fairness and unintended consequences for allies, friendly countries, and terrorism victims. Furthermore, the intricate court procedures associated with JASTA present serious challenges to its effective enforcement. Even staunch allies like Saudi Arabia have voiced strong criticism of the act for its complex legal framework and prospective consequences. The American invasion of Iraq has raised the possibility of affected countries using JASTA against the U.S. in international courts. Through a comprehensive analysis of JASTA’s domestic and international implications, this paper explores the legal complexities of the act, evaluates its impact on security and diplomacy, and highlights the ethical considerations in terrorism accountability. This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the controversial Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act regarding its failures, repercussions, and implications for national security and international relations
