The United States Secretary of State Elihu Root stated in 1909:

"Each country is bound to give the nationals of another country in its territory the benefit of the same laws, the same administration, the same protection, and [the] same redress for injury which it gives to its own citizens, and neither more nor less; provided the protection which the country gives to its own citizens conforms to the established standards of civilisation."

Based on this statement, discuss when a state is responsible for an injury to an "alien" or foreign business?(
