Under the Alien Tort Claims Act,victims and families of victims of terrorist attacks committed in Israel sought damages from Arab Bank, PLC, a large bank headquartered in Jordan, with branches in New York, throughout the Middle East, and around the world. According to the plaintiffs, Arab Bank provided financial services and support to the terrorists. From a federal district court order imposing sanctions, Arab Bank appealed.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed. "Internationalcomity calls for more than an examination of only some of the interests of some foreign states. *** The interests of other sovereigns in enforcing bank secrecy laws are outweighed by the need to impede terrorism financing as embodied in the tort remedies provided by U.S. civil law and the stated commitments of the foreign nations."
