Read the following hypothetical fact scenario.
Read the Shrimp Turtle Case
In an effort to protect an indispensible natural resource, the U.S. bans imports on any product made from materials harvested from South American rainforests. In response, Brazilian intelligence officials secretly cross into the U.S. and sabotage a Goodyear tire factory that, before the regulation, bought Brazilian rubber. Though the sabotage was intended to only disable the factory, two workers were killed as a result. President Obama orders the bombing of 10 Brazilian cities in response. Dozens are killed. After tensions ease, Brazil and the U.S. agree to settle the trade dispute before the World Trade Organization tribunal and the dispute over the attacks before the ICJ.
