Abstract

The article examines the challenges and implications of enforcing Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations in the U.S., focusing on whether individuals can seek remedies for violations in U.S. courts. It highlights the legal ambiguities surrounding the treaty's self-executing status and the barriers foreign states face in enforcing it domestically. The author emphasizes the need for improved U.S. compliance to protect its citizens abroad and maintain international legal order.
