French court dismisses appeal in Agent Orange case
==========

A Paris court rejected Tran To Nga's appeal against agrochemical firms for their role in Agent Orange's use during the Vietnam War; the court cited the companies' legal immunity as they acted for a sovereign government; Nga, 82, plans to take her case to France's highest appeals court; she previously lost her case in 2021; approximately 76 million litres of Agent Orange were sprayed by US forces from 1962 to 1971, affecting four million people; Vietnam attributes severe birth defects in 150,000 children to the chemical; only military veterans have received compensation so far; Nga suffers from health issues linked to Agent Orange exposure.
