US refuses International Court of Justice intervention in Americans holding foreigners in prisons – leaves Vienna Convention
Suniti Sen
Mar. 11, 2005
The United States withdrew from the Vienna Convention. The Vienna protocol authorized the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in cases of non-U.S. residents being held in the U.S. prison system. Under the convention, the ICJ would have had final rights to any such detainee.
This will allow US to hold non-U.S. residents in American without justifying anything to the world. The human right organizations were unhappy. The American logic behind this move is that American need flexibility in fighting terrorism.
