International Responsibility to Corporate Bodies for Lives Lost by Outlawry

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 May 2017

Extract

A novel case has recently arisen involving the liability of a foreign government to indemnify an American corporation (a missionary board) for the death of its employees by mob violence. The case grew out of the assault in 1905 of a mob of native Chinese upon the American Protestant Mission Station at Lienchou, province of Quantung, China, resulting in the death of four missionaries and one child.
