(a) General Venue.— Any civil action under
section 2333 of this title against any person may be instituted in the district
court of the United States for any district where any plaintiff resides or where
any defendant resides or is served, or has an agent. Process in such a civil
action may be served in any district where the defendant resides, is found, or
has an agent.
(b) Special Maritime or Territorial Jurisdiction.— If the actions giving rise to the claim occurred within the
special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, as defined
in section 7 of this title, then any civil action under section 2333 of this
title against any person may be instituted in the district court of the United
States for any district in which any plaintiff resides or the defendant resides,
is served, or has an agent.
(c) Service on Witnesses.— A witness in a
civil action brought under section 2333 of this title may be served in any other
district where the defendant resides, is found, or has an agent.
(d) Convenience of the Forum.— The
district court shall not dismiss any action brought under section 2333 of this
title on the grounds of the inconvenience or inappropriateness of the forum
chosen, unless—
(1) the
action may be maintained in a foreign court that has jurisdiction over the
subject matter and over all the defendants;
(2) that
foreign court is significantly more convenient and appropriate; and
(3) that
foreign court offers a remedy which is substantially the same as the one
available in the courts of the United States.
