Debevoise Represents Mexican National in the Supreme Court
On November 7, 2005, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Moises Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon and Bustillo v. Johnson and consolidated the cases for argument. Both cases raise issues concerning the consular notification and access provisions of Article 36 of the the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and the enforcement of those provisions in the United States legal system. Specifically, Mr. Sanchez-Llamas’ case presents the questions whether Article 36 is individually enforceable in criminal proceedings against a defendant foreign national and whether suppression is available as a remedy for an Article 36 violation, and Mr. Bustillo's case presents the further question whether procedural default doctrines can bar a foreign national from raising an Article 36 claim when the national has not received the required notification. The cases thus present issues of broad significance for the constitutional scheme of treaty enforcement in the United States.

In March 2004, in Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States), the International Court of Justice held that Article 36 does confer an individual right on detained foreign nationals and that procedural bars cannot prevent the assertion of an Article 36 claim when the competent authorities have failed in their notification obligations. Debevoise represented Mexico in that case. In April 2005, in Medellin v. Dretke, the Supreme Court declined, after hearing oral argument, to decide whether the Avena judgment was enforceable in United States courts after President Bush, acting pursuant to his Article II authority, determined that state courts would provide the review and reconsideration that the ICJ has ordered as a remedy for the 52 Mexican nationals subject to that judgment. In September 2005, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals heard argument on whether Texas must give effect to the Avena judgment and the President's determination, but that court has not yet rendered a decision. Debevoise represented Mr. Medellin in the Supreme Court and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

In Sanchez-Llamas, Debevoise serves as co-counsel to the Office of Public Defense Services in Salem, Oregon, which filed the petition on Mr. Sanchez-Llamas' behalf.

The briefs and other materials from the Avena, Medellin, Sanchez-Llamas and Bustillo cases, as well as from Torres in the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals are available below:
