CASSIRER v. THYSSEN-BORNEMISZA (FSIA — Choice of law)

My limited understanding: 
Sovereign entities sued under FSIA (but without a separate cause of action implicating federal jurisdiction) are subject to the choice of law provision of the courts which would otherwise be the lawsuit’s venue.

Eg. Where you would have had to bring the underlying, non-FSIA/non-federal, Lawsuit where you found the law.
