His home jurisdiction, I suppose.

Comically, this is what the riaa did with making claims against Sunde based on US laws and applying them to Sweden.

I think ICANN is a US corporation, but if they are impacting a Swedish company I’m sure there’s some local law that can be used.

US law is default but ICANN connection to the UN could allow someone to sue in any UN registered country. Though, I am not an expert on law.

I thought ICANN has no connection to the UN.

It used to have a connection to the US department of commerce but that ended years ago.
