No, the point is, is that a non US court took it upon itself to mess with the perfectly legal findings of the US court system.
Laurent may have a good idea, but it doesn't change the fact that the dirty bastards slated to ride the lightning were found guilty of their crimes in the most perfect justice system on the planet. No amount of "They didn't get access to their respective consulates!!!!" is going to make them less guilty. End of story.
The "World Court", once again, can go pound sand.
Uh, yeah, but if one country can deny people access to consular visits, so can other countries-and you therefore have no such rights when you travel abroad. That's important for those of us who are American and travel abroad-you know, to not be tossed in the can without even being able to let the folks back home know what's happening.
It's also a treaty obligation of the US-which, if you read the opinion, you'll see is its main issue, not a problem with the US courts and their process, which the opinion doesn't consider or review. It didn't "reach into the US justice system"-what it did do was say that, as part of the US government's obligations under the treaty that it is a party to, the US government is required to make efforts to implement the treaty insofar as it requires that accused foreigners get access to consular services.
The 'world's most perfect justice system' and its operation has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter of the dispute here; Only the right which you agreed was sensible-that the accused should have the right to contact the consulate of their home nations.
