Saudi Arabia 'Very strongly against JASTA bill...we will have chaos in the international order'
Secretary of State John Kerry meets with Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir 
9/11
Let me say, first of all, that we did discuss the very negative impact on the concept of sovereign immunity. And the interests of our country, the United States, particularly, I expressed, are at risk as a result of the law that was passed in Congress in the final days. And we discussed ways to try to fix this in a way that respects and honors the needs and rights of victims of 9/11 but at the same time does not expose American troops and American partners and American individuals who may be involved in another country to the potential of a lawsuit for those activities. Sovereign immunity is a longstanding, well-upheld standard of law, and unfortunately this legislation – unintentionally, I think – puts it at great risk and thereby puts our country at great risk. So we’re talking about ways to try to address that.
FOREIGN MINISTER AL-JUBEIR: Thank you, John, for a great conversation as usual. It’s always a pleasure to be here and exchange ideas and viewpoints with you on a number of challenging issues.

I believe the Secretary spoke to you about the issues that we discussed, and so I just want to add my voice to what the Secretary said about the importance of sovereign immunities. Sovereign immunities has been a cardinal principle of the international legal order that was established after the Treaty of Westphalia in the 1600s. The objective is to bring order to the international system. And where sovereign immunities are diluted, the international system becomes chaotic, and no country and no government is able to conduct its official business without having to worry about lawsuits. The United States, as the country with the biggest footprint in the world, of course has the most to lose by this, because you have operations all the way from Japan to South America to the Pacific, and I think that is why the vast majority of countries have come out vehemently and very strongly against this JASTA bill for its dilution of sovereign immunities. And there have been a number of countries that are looking at reciprocal measures, and if this issue takes hold, we will have chaos in the international order, and this is something that no country in the world wants.
