The Saudi Arabian government rebuked the U.S. Congress’s Wednesday passage of a bill that will allow Sept. 11 victims and their family members to sue the Middle Eastern nation for its alleged financial support of the 9/11 hijackers.

“The enactment of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) is of great concern to the community of nations that object to the erosion of the principle of sovereign immunity, which has governed international relations for hundreds of years. The erosion of sovereign immunity will have a negative impact on all nations, including the United States,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said in a statement.
