The same act cannot be tried twice by the same sovereign (even claiming a different law) but another sovereign is free to try the same act again. It is not a matter of different law but a matter of different sovereign. You can find it easily if you search threads where double jeopardy has been discussed and I am sure our expert lawyers can clarify this but, in any case, that is not the topic of this thread and I do not want to hijack the thread with that. The point is that a claim of double jeopardy in this case is absolutely preposterous for several reasons. – not the least of which is the fact that they haven’t been tried at all!
Please pay attention. I already gave you a cite. It’s called the Helms-Burton act
It is considered illegal by the rest of the world and has been protested repeatedly by many countries including Canada, all of Latin-America and Europe. It penalises foreign individuals and companies who trade with or invest in Cuba even though it is legal for them to do so in their own countries. In fact, in some cases it is illegal for them to comply with the Helms-Burton act but America expects foreigners to abide by American law rather than with their own laws. Talk about extraterritoriality. Cases have been discussed on this board.
