Illegal immigrant executed for murder of Arlington store manager

In order to be self-executing the treaty would have to spell out how those rights are to be promoted, enforced, and what recourse would be allowed if the system failed on those points.

This guy's lawyer is just grandstanding by claiming that the treaty with Honduras is self-executing.

Inadequacy of counsel is frequently claimed as grounds for appeal, but rarely accepted.

Are you sure? I mean, in the other similar issue, SCOTUS ruled that Texas had the right to execute the inmate inspite of what both the World Court and federal government claimed. In other words, the treaty might exist, but it might not be binding on the State of Texas.

Understood.

According to the Supreme Court, Texas was not obligated to comply with the treaty. That's all well and good. No argument there. My statement still stands: Texas did not comply with the treaty. It didn't have to. It chose not to. I wish it had chosen otherwise.

Clear?
