None. That ship sailed a long time ago.
I wonder when some Japanese american citizens will sue for property lost by their parents during WWII when they were interned...

When everyone involved is dead, it’s kinda late.
We are not interested in slavery reparations. It’s time to put WW2 to bed as well.

"The group wants compensation from the Croatian government"
Sure. 3.5 billion. Will that be check or cash?

And he wants three and a half billion from Croatia.
A country with total assets maybe equaling the value of 10 goats, five chickens and a pig.

3.5 Billion?
No problem. Pay them in Zimbabwe dollars.

Scratch the pig. I bought it last week. It was the only one they had.

I think they need to go ahead with that deal from the guy in Nigeria if they expect to come up with that kind of cash.

My American citizen Great Grandmother was murdered at Jasenovac along with 700,000 other innocents.
That enough jurisdiction for you ?

At least the Japanese internments took place on U.S. soil so there is some basis for jurisdiction. This case involves acts committed over 70 years ago outside the U.S. No basis for jurisdiction.

yep. This must be a publicity stunt. I wonder if there is a new comedy coming out called “Springtime for Croatia”.

That enough jurisdiction for you ? No. . . crimes have to be tried in the jurisdiction in which they occurred. You are not allowed to go venue shopping just because another venue might be more sympathetic to your argument. Sorry.

That enough jurisdiction for you ? According to the US Court Systems own website, the types of cases the US Courts are allowed to hear, i.e. their jurisdiction are these:
- Cases that deal with the constitutionality of a law;
- Cases involving the laws and treaties of the U.S.;
- Cases involving ambassadors and public ministers;
- Disputes between two or more states;
- Admiralty law;
- Bankruptcy;
- Habeas corpus issues.
I see nothing there that brings the Creation internal issues under the Jurisdiction of the United States' Courts.
