Texas executes Mexican murderer
A Mexican man whose case has drawn international attention has been executed in Texas for the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl.
The International Court of Justice had urged Texas not to execute Medellin, as he had not been told of his right to consular help when he was arrested.
"On Tuesday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on the US to abide by the ICJ ruling.
"All decisions and orders of the International Court of Justice must be respected by states," he told a television station in Mexico City, where he is attending a world Aids conference.
"The United States should take every step to make sure the execution does not take place." "
So the World's "justice" system now moves into full gear. I mean this guy was even a US citizen (born in Mexico). Headline news on BBC (focus on the poor Mexican criminal of course)
