Supreme Court Rejects Argetina's Appeal Over Debt

The U.S. Supreme Court will not take up Argentina's appeal over a judgment requiring it to pay investors in its defaulted bonds, Agence France-Presse reports. The investors refused to participate in the restructuring of the debt on which Argentina defaulted in 2001.

One issue was whether Argentina has to turn over information about its government assets held in the United States, and the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act does not protect foreign countries from the discovery of their assets, AFP reports.
