Apartheid Suit Puts Corporations on Notice

The New York Sun reports that a federal appellate court in New York has recently given the go-ahead to a historic class-action suit against businesses that sold to South Africa's apartheid regime. According to the report, "the decision has put the world's largest companies on notice that they can be held liable for doing business with foreign regimes that commit human-rights abuses."
