Mexico Tries to Stop US Executions

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (June 19) - Mexico made an emergency appeal to the U.N.'s highest court Thursday to block the execution of its citizens on death row in the U.S. Mexico's chief advocate Juan Manuel Gomez-Robledo said the U.S. was "in breach of its international obligations" by disregarding a 2004 judgment by the U.N.'s International Court of Justice, which ruled Mexicans were denied the right to consular advice after their arrests, as guaranteed by an international treaty.

The court, informally known as the World Court, has ruled that the Mexicans were entitled to "review and reconsideration" of their trials and sentences to determine whether the violation of the 1963 Vienna Convention affected their cases.

President Bush accepted the judgment and asked state courts to review the cases.Texas refused, and the issue went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled last March by a 6-3 vote that Bush lacked the authority to compel state courts to comply with the judgment from The Hague.

The Vienna Convention cannot be binding on the states unless Congress enacts legislation enforcing it as federal law, the Supreme Court said.

Mexico asked the World Court for an "interpretation" of its earlier ruling to clarify what it meant when it asked the U.S. to "review and reconsider" the cases of the condemned prisoners, and in the meantime to order the halt of the execution timetable.

Hells Bells! They have whole police departments quitting and fleeing en masse for their lives from the drug bad guys in their cities and towns. Perhaps they ought to look closer to home to find the folks that are being misused by the system. Those convicted in the American courts at least survive to be tried in courts of law!

BTW, here is the copy that goes with that picture up there - actual copy:

The Mexican Army has confiscated weapons from the Police force in Rosarito, Baja California. They believe that their weapons may have been used in an attack on the local police chief. They also think that the police have been working with drug traffickers.
