As the New York Times noted:
Writing for the majority, (USSC) Chief Justice John Roberts said that neither the defendant nor his supporters “have identified a single nation that treats I.C.J. judgments as binding in domestic courts”… (and that) “the president’s authority to act, as with the exercise of any governmental power, ‘must stem either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself.’ ”
Mexico’s government had previously advocated in favor of the ICJ’s decision since Mexico is opposed to capital punishment.
