Abstract
French Abstract: Torture as Tort: Comparative Perspectives on the Development of Transnational Tort Litigation (La torture en tant que delit civil: Points de vue comparatifs sur le developpement du contentieux transnational sur les delits civils) represente la premiere enquete approfondie effectuee par des specialistes non americains, concernant le contentieux transnational en matiere de droits de la personne. Dans cet article l'auteur analyse une serie de nouveaux developpements intervenus dans ce domaine depuis la publication de l'ouvrage en 2001. En particulier, on note cinq plaintes transnationales relatives aux droits de la personne qui ont fait l'objet d'une decision de justice apres le 11Septembre et ont ete presentees aux tribunaux canadiens et britanniques. L'auteur creuse ces affaires pour en tirer une meilleure comprehension des autres developpements importants concernant le Alien Tort Statute americain [loi sur le droit des delits civils etrangers] (Partie I); la complicite des grandes Societes sur le plan des violations des droits de la personne (Partie II); l'extension de la competence du droit commun, afin d'y inclure le crime de torture jus cogens (Partie III); l'immunite de l'Etat a l'encontre de toute poursuite (Partie IV); et la possibilite croissante d'indemnisation et d'autres recours (Partie V). Cet article constitue une mise a jour vitale destinee aux specialistes transnationaux des droits de la personne. English Abstract: Torture as Tort: Comparative Perspectives on the Development of Transnational Tort Litigation marked the first in-depth inquiry by non-US scholars into transnational human rights litigation. In this article, the author canvasses a range of new developments in the field since its publication in 2001. Of special note are five transnational human rights claims, decided after September 11, that were brought in Canadian and British courts. The author mines these cases for insights into other important developments involving the American Alien Tort Statute (Part I); corporate complicity in human rights abuses (Part II); the expansion of common law jurisdiction to include the jus cogens crime of torture (Part III); state immunity from prosecution (Part IV); and the increasing availability of compensation and other remedies (Part V). This article is a vital update for transnational human rights scholars.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
