This Is just a question... ?
now, im irish. and the irish were the only ever white slaves the the slavery era of wich you speak (yess, coffin ships n all) we were shied over in huge numbers as slaves by Cromwell and those who came after him. We were forced In2 subsistance Agriculture, and in2 a monocultur by the british... which coused the fammine, more than a million dead, millions mre emigrated, couseing a downward spirall in our population with domed our nation to never be powerfull or significant on a world stage. (due to sheer lack of numbers, b4 the fammine the population of ireland was 8million, almost the same as briton at the time, now, after more than 150years...its 5million, whilr briton is 65million)
Now these are damages, and injustices which have been done onto the peple and nation of ireland, which are traceable. I ask you, does the irish government have a right to sue the british government for this damage??
What about south america and the spanish? Wat about every frigin injustice which has been done in history? Can the UN try the us goverment for stealing soux land?? after all, they are both entitys?? not people? NO ... this is a black civil rights movemen which is attemping to remain controvershial, and to prolong its own life.

It seems it is both a question and an answer.

You are asking about lawsuits against governments, which is an altogether different proposition to corporations.

The Farmer-Paellmann lawsuit follows on precedents set by successful lawsuits against corporations involved in Nazi era slavery.

This lawsuit came about because Congress had not addressed the reparations awarded nearly 150 years ago which were blocked by a presidential veto. I.E. efforts with government have been a dead end.

That's not to say that a lawsuit can't be launched against a government. But what court has the authority to make judgement and the means to enforce it?
