If a US court orders assets to be seized, and the Saudis say, "No, those assets are ours, and you can't have them," then what is the court going to do? It really seems like this will only be effective as far as the Saudis are willing to go along with it.
"Possession is 9/10ths of the law."
If those assets are in America, what will the Saudis do?
I think that since there isn't a higher authority shared by the US and Saudi Arabia to oversee the process and enforce the judgements, the power of the law only goes as far as the Saudis are willing to cooperate with it.
