Abstract

This article analyzes the legislation and litigation associated with the inherent deficiencies between the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act and the Immunity from Seizure Act. To remedy these defects in the law, Congress introduced the Foreign Cultural Exchange
Jurisdictional Immunities Clarification Act. This article further supports the proposed bill for the Foreign Cultural Exchange Jurisdictional Immunity Clarification Act and ultimately concludes that Congress should enact like legislation in order to preserve cultural heritage loans.
