American Society of International Law - The Fairmount Hotel
In civil litigation, imputed liability plays a critical role in holding large organizations responsible for the actions of their agents. In adjudicating civil claims for international human rights and humanitarian law violations, U.S. courts have disagreed both over the rules of imputed liability and the source of law for these rules.
