The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law participated in drafting an amicus brief filed in the U. S. Supreme Court in Miriam Fuld, et al., v. Palestine Liberation Organization, et al., on February 4, 2025. The brief, which was ultimately joined by seventeen Jewish and civil rights organizations, seeks the reversal of a decision by the Second Circuit invalidating, on due process grounds, the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of terrorism Act (“PSJVTA”), which grants American courts personal jurisdiction over the Palestine Liberation Organization (“PLO”) and its affiliate, the Palestinian Authority (“PA”) in suits brought by American victims of terrorism. The brief highlights the PLO and PA’s history of international terrorism, the PA’s creation and ongoing support of the “Pay for Slay” program , an official government program that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars annually in compensation, stipends, and benefits to individuals who have committed terrorist attacks against Jews around the world, thereby incentivizing violence, and describes the many Americans who have been murdered or maimed because of “Pay for Slay”. The brief argues that the PSJVTA is a constitutional exercise of Congress’s authority and a critical tool for combating terrorism and securing justice for victims. Kenneth Marcus, Chairman of the Brandeis Center, comments: “The submission of this important brief by a coalition of a wide range of organizations that advocate for the Jewish people is a concrete illustration of our efforts to collaborate with colleagues and serve as a force multiplier in legal advocacy.” Read more coverage of this case on Jewish Insider.
