Sanchez-Llamas, American Human Rights Exceptionalism and the VCCR Norm Portal

19 Pages Posted: 1 Jun 2007

Abstract

This Essay examines Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon within the line of cases challenging U.S. non-compliance with the notification requirements of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR). The VCCR litigations arose as a response to American death penalty exceptionalism. Viewed through the lens of transnational efforts to integrate international human rights norms into the United States, Sanchez-Llamas illuminates the ways in which American human rights exceptionalism - in its many forms - is being actively contested and how judges - implicitly and explicitly - respond to arguments for and against exceptionalism.
