This kind of eurocrap does keep the militia alert against infringements of our sovereignty.. essentially this is political hoof-in-mouth disease... Wednesday June 27 6:47 AM ET World Court Favors Germany Over U.S. THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - The World Court ruled in favor of Germany in a case involving the U.S. execution of two German brothers in 1999, saying the United States violated international law when it failed to grant consular rights to Germans. In a landmark ruling Wednesday, the court also pronounced that its provisional orders to national courts were legally binding, criticizing the U.S. state of Arizona for ignoring the World Court's order to delay the execution of one of the brothers. Brothers Karl and Walter LaGrand were executed in Tucson for the 1982 murder of a 63-year-old bank manager during a botched robbery. Germany took the United States to court, claiming the brothers had been denied representation by the German consulate that might have saved their lives. In doing so, Germany argued, the United States violated the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The verdict is binding and not subject to appeal, however the World Court has no independent means to enforce compliance.
