From SCOTUS Blog:
The International Court of Justice ruled unanimously on Monday that the U.S. government violated a duty under international law by failing to stop Texas from excuting a Mexican national last summer. The Court located at The Hague in The Netherlands, however, seemed to absolve the U.S. Supreme Court of any specific violation even though it refused to block that execution.
....
The opinions released Monday can be found, in PDF format, here. A press release on the decision is here. (Thanks to Howard Bashman of How Appealing blog for the alert to this decision.)
Hmmm.... Did the U.S. government have a legal means of stopping Texas?
