520    This book studies the struggle to enforce international 
       human rights law in federal courts. In 1980, a federal 
       appeals court ruled that a Paraguayan family could sue a 
       Paraguayan official under the Alien Tort Statute - a 
       dormant provision of the 1789 Judiciary Act - for torture 
       committed in Paraguay. Since then, courts have been 
       wrestling with this step toward a universal approach to 
       human rights law. Davis examines attempts by human rights 
       groups to use the law to enforce human rights norms. He 
       explains the separation of powers issues arising when 
       victims sue the United States or when the United States 
       intervenes to urge dismissal of a claim and analyses the 
       controversies arising from attempts to hold foreign 
       nations, foreign officials, and corporations liable under 
       international human rights law. While Davis's analysis is 
       driven by social science methods, its foundation is the 
       dramatic human story from which these cases arise.
