iiclr-17382	Morrison, Susan M.	The Act of State Doctrine and the Demise of International Comity	1991	26	.pdf	application/pdf	10008	617	68	At issue in these cases was whether the act of state doctrine barred inquiry into the purpose or motivation of foreign acts of state, rather than the validity of such acts. It is the purpose of this note to examine the reasoning the Court used in W.S. Kirkpatrick & Co., Inc v. Environmental Tectonics Corp., International4 to reach its unanimous decision that the act of state doctrine only applies to foreclose United States courts from adjudicating oth- erwise valid claims when the validity of a foreign act of state must be examined.	cache/iiclr-17382.pdf	txt/iiclr-17382.txt
