• holding that Swiss Embassy’s failure to warn about a guide wire on a tree that caused a sledding accident was not grounded in public policy
• holding Swiss Embassy was not protected by sovereign immunity for decisions as to maintenance of the Embassy’s grounds because such decisions were made in its capacity as a land owner, not in its capacity as an diplomatic mission
