Mexico Goes to World Court to Stop U.S. Execution of its Citizens
Mexico goes to the World Court tomorrow seeking an order preventing the United States from executing Mexicans. There are more than 50 Mexicans on death row in the U.S.
From our earlier post on Mexico's lawsuit:
Mexico filed suit against the US in the International Court of Justice in the Hague over the U.S.’s failure to comply with the Vienna Convention’s guarantee of allowing foreign nationals access to consular officials prior to interrogation. Mexico is also seeking provisional measures, essentially a temporary restraining order, against all capital prosecutions in the US against Mexican nationals until the case is resolved. A hearing is tentatively set for January 20.
