Is the Legacy of Medellin v. Texas an Inhibition to the Development of Uniform Extradition Jurisprudential Standards on the Global Stage?

It’s a known fact that the United States has considerable influence on the global stage. Generally, the United States’ interests impact events globally, including the progress of international criminal law and jurisprudence. One component of international criminal law is the law of extradition; extradition law governs the removal of a person from one state to another, typically to face some charge.[1] When most people think of extradition, Eric Snowden and the Wikileaks situation come to mind. Indeed, the Eric Snowden case is an example of extradition law mechanics, but it also highlights the broader issue concerning whether the United States’ influence on the global stage is inhibiting a uniform development of extradition law. However, many are not aware of Jose Medellin, where the United States, through the United States Supreme Court, ignored the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, disregarded its obligations under treaty law, and ultimately inhibited the development of global extradition jurisprudence. <a href="https://ianlamarcourts.medium.com/is-the-legacy-of-medellin-v-texas-an-inhibition-to-the-development-of-global-extradition-law-b961515f5324">Visit Now</a>
