International torts

International torts are wrongful acts committed by one party against another across borders, violating legal duties recognized internationally or by specific countries. These acts—such as personal injury, property damage, or defamation—can involve foreign governments, individuals, or corporations. The legal principles aim to address and resolve conflicts arising from these wrongful acts by applying international laws or treaties, ensuring victims can seek justice across jurisdictions. Understanding international torts involves recognizing how legal responsibilities are upheld globally, fostering accountability regardless of where harm occurs.
