Тексас го погуби осудениот Мексиканец (имавме тема за ова порано). Од Меѓународниот суд за правдата во Хаг се бунат дека САД ја прекршиле одлуката на судот од јули 2008ма Мексиканецот да не биде погубен.
US Breached Order by Executing Mexican

THE UN's highest court has held the United States in breach of its July order not to execute a Mexican man sentenced to death in Texas after a flawed trial.
"The court ... finds that the United States of America has breached the obligation incumbent upon it" by executing 33-year-old Jose Ernesto Medellin in August, the International Court of Justice ruled in The Hague.
It was handing down judgment in a bid by Mexico to pressure the United States to review the sentences of 51 of its citizens sentenced to death on American soil after trials that violated international rights obligations.
Mexico accuses Washington of contravening the court's 2004 order holding it in breach of the Vienna Convention for having failed to inform the Mexicans of their right to consular assistance during trial.
The court directed the US government in 2004 to review and reconsider all the convictions and sentences, but Mexico claims requests for such reviews had been denied in nearly all the cases.
