The International Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction in capital punishment cases that involve foreign nationals. Decided April 14, 1998. Dissenting: Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg. Topic: Capital punishment. Breard v. Greene, 523 U.S. 371 (1998), is a United States Supreme Court decision decided on April 14, 1998. The Court held that Ángel Francisco Breard would not receive a stay of execution and/or other relief under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, thus confirming the constitutional law principle that a Senate-ratified treaty may be overridden by a later domestic statute enacted by Congress.
