Measure and scope
Terrorism jurisdiction exception and execution rules are distinct and conditional
Known conflict
Second-edition wording overbroad. AND CHAPTER 6 CARRIED THE SAME OVERBREADTH UNTIL v6: lines 223 and 225 stated, in the book's own voice, that a designated state loses the immunity protecting its assets and that the governor's confiscation warning is about judgment creditors rather than compliance officers. THE AUTHOR DIRECTED AT D-075 SECTION 3 ON 17 AUGUST 2026 that the attributed view stand and the book's own characterisation be recast as a question. v6 carries that: the chapter now separates the jurisdictional question from the execution question, names this row, and settles neither. || A THIRD LIMB IS ADDED 25 AUGUST 2026 AT THE CHAPTER 6 v30 PASS, AND NOTHING IN THE ROW IS WITHDRAWN. Syria's State Sponsor of Terrorism designation was rescinded on 24 August 2026 (SRC-398, the Secretary's press statement; SRC-400, the department's own list, which named four countries on 23 August and three on 25 August; SST-002). WHAT RESCISSION DOES TO THE TERRORISM EXCEPTION IS NOT ANSWERED HERE AND IS NOT ANSWERABLE FROM WHAT THIS PROCESS HAS OPENED: the statute has not been opened, and the two questions it raises, what happens to the exception for conduct while the designation stood and what happens to claims already brought, are added to the two this row already holds rather than resolved. Chapter 6 v30 line 223 now holds three questions open where it held two and answers none of them.
