Peru ...........177 The court held that it had jurisdiction to enforce an arbitration award against the Republic of Peru in favor of a Brazilian corporation, under the Foreign Sov ereign Immunities Act and the Inter-American Convention on International Commercial Arbitration. CSL Australia Pty. Ltd. v. Britannia Bulkers PLC ..........................................187 The court exercised its discretion by vacating a maritime attachment order against an insolvent defendant in the name of international comity. Courts are encouraged to defer to the laws and procedures of con- temporaneous foreign bankruptcy proceedings that are consistent with the principles of U.S. bank ruptcy law and are procedurally fair. LBA International Ltd. v. C E Consulting LLC ............................................. 193 Although 28 U.S.C. § 1332 does not expand diversity jurisdiction and is not applicable in cases where an alien and a permanent resident alien are parties, Fed eral Rules of Civil Procedure 19 (Fed. R. Civ. P.) allowed this court to dismiss a non-diverse party to preserve diversity of citizenship. Elsevier B.V. v. UnitedHealth Group, Inc. .......................................................199 The court held that the Berne Convention is not a self-executing treaty, and as a result, the limited relief available to unregistered copyrights under § 412 of the Copyright Act of 1976 is not superseded by Article Five of the Berne Convention under Article VI of the United States Constitution. Ancile Investment Co. Ltd. v. Archer Daniels Midland Co. .............................205 The court denied defendant’s motion to dismiss for forum non conveniens, hold ing that plaintiff should be given deference in its forum choice, and defendant failed to present facts that strongly supported dismissal. Finding it unnecessary, the court denied both the plaintiff’s request for a 56(f) continuance and the defendant’s motion to strike the declaration of plaintiff’s expert on Brazilian law. Walters v. People’s Republic of China ..............................................................213 The court held that under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, the sovereign immunity exception applies to the property of a foreign state that is located in the United States.
