When foreign law provides a cause of action for a wrongful death on the high seas, an admiralty action based on that cause may be brought in a United States court. The authorized recovery is not reduced.
When a cause of action exists under the law of a foreign country for death by wrongful act, neglect, or default on the high seas, a civil action in admiralty may be brought in a court of the United States based on the foreign cause of action, without abatement of the amount for which recovery is authorized.
