US Court Rulings on Abu Ghraib
A U.S. Court of Appeals has issued a final ruling nullifying the $42 million in damages awarded to Iraqi citizens who were subjected to torture and mistreatment at Abu Ghraib prison during the American occupation of Iraq in 2003 and 2004. The prior judgment against an American contractor from Virginia was overturned following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in June, which redefined the limits of federal court jurisdiction, effectively removing a legal basis that allowed lawsuits against the United States over violations of international law involving foreign nationals. The case concerns three Iraqi victims and is among the longest-running lawsuits related to the scandal that came to light in 2004, with legal repercussions still ongoing more than twenty years later.
