    Fourth Circuit rejects ex-Salvadoran colonel’s plea for immunity in Dutch journalists’ killings

The court ruled that acts violating international norms like summary executions cannot claim foreign official immunity, advancing a case under the Torture Victims Protection Act brought by the brother of one victim.
