- W349285265 abstract "From a law enforcement standpoint, Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon is significant. Assuming, without deciding, that the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations confers judicially enforceable individual rights, the Supreme Court held that a violation of those rights: (1) did not require the suppression of evidence; and (2) did not require a State to ignore its rules of procedural default for habeas corpus proceedings. Consequently, local law enforcement officials, who perform the vast majority of arrests in the United States, need not worry that their failure to identify a suspect as a foreign national and to advise the suspect that he may contact his consulate. From a personal standpoint, the decision is memorable. I argued the case on behalf of the Virginia respondent and the portion concerning procedural default rules is a significant professional triumph. Yet, the significance of Sanchez-Llamas goes far beyond making law enforcement easier or another set of framed quills for my office wall. Sanchez-Llamas represents a rejection of the “international community” and an embrace of “American Exceptionalism,” the idea that the United States is fundamentally different from, if not superior to, the rest of the World. In Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States) and LaGrand (Federal Republic of Germany v. United States), the International Court of Justice concluded that the Vienna Convention does create judicially enforceable individual rights and, more importantly, that vindication of those rights required American courts to ignore state and federal procedural rules. Foreign nations and those who espouse “international norms” demanded that the Court adhere to that interpretation. The Court refused to do so. Confronted with “the delicate question of the application of an international treaty,” the Court decided the case not on international law, but “under the same principles we would apply to an Act of Congress, or to the Constitution itself.” By doing so, the Court rejected international law and the International Court of Justice, refused to recognize special rights for foreign nationals, and reaffirmed the constitutional value of dual sovereignty. History may well regard the case as a defining moment in the conflict between those who wish to preserve American sovereignty and those who wish to defer to the international community and multi-lateral organizations. The purpose of this Essay is to explore the Court’s rejection in Sanchez-Llamas of the international community and its embrace of American Exceptionalism. Its purpose is not to provide a comprehensive discussion of the case, an objective that has already been accomplished elsewhere. This exploration is accomplished in three sections. The first section discusses the Court’s rejection of international law and the International Court of Justice. The Court found that decisions of the International Court of Justice were neither binding nor entitled to any sort of special deference, that the International Court of Justice misconstrued the Vienna Convention, and that the American legal system was fundamentally different from the rest of the world. The second section details why the Court refused to create special rights for foreign nationals. The final section explains the Court’s reaffirmation of the constitutional value of dual sovereignty." @default.
