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.
