Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The three possible exceptions to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act deal with waivers, commercial activity, and violation of international law.
First, a lawsuit is permitted against a foreign country that waives its immunity, that is voluntarily gives up this protection. Secondly, a plaintiff in the United States can sue a foreign country engaged in commercial, but not political activity. Lastly, a plaintiff in the United States may sue a foreign government that has confiscated property in violation of international law, provided that the property either ends up in the United States or is involved in commercial activity that affects someone in the United States.
