Description
YPF and Argentina’s Contributions to International Law
Argentina owes over $16 billion in connection with its nationalization of state oil company YPF. A federal judge in the Southern District of New York is considering whether to order Argentina to hand over its shares in YPF — technically located outside the United States — to pay part of the judgment. Can it do that? Paul Stephan (Virginia) joins to talk about how foreign state property located outside the United States is (and is not) protected by the law of foreign sovereign immunity, residual common law protections, and doctrines like comity.
