| Holding | |
| Defendant could not raise his Vienna Convention claim on federal habeas corpus review. Moreover, the Court reasoned that he could not have demonstrated that the alleged violation of the Vienna Convention had an effect on his state trial that ought to have resulted in the overturning of his conviction. Additionally, the Court found that the Vienna Convention did not clearly provide a foreign nation with a private right of action in U.S. courts. | |
