Primary record
Archived copy
Because we agree with the conclusions reached by the District Court in this case, we affirm the judgment
norm prohibiting the wartime use of Agent Orange that is defined with the degree of specificity required by Sosa.
the record before us supports the conclusion that Agent Orange was used as a defoliant and not as a poison designed for or targeting human populations.
Inasmuch as Agent Orange was intended for defoliation and for destruction of crops only, its use did not violate the international norms relied upon here, since those norms would not necessarily prohibit the deployment of materials that are only secondarily, and not intentionally, harmful to humans.
