	Representing Foreign Nationals: Emerging Importance of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations as a Defense Tool
		Consular officials have a strong interest in the well-being of their nationals who are visiting or living in a foreign country.
		At the outset, consular officials can assure an arrestee that he or she is not required to make any statement to the police or prosecutors, and consuls may well advise that no statement be made before an attorney has been consulted.
		By its terms, the VCCR applies whenever a foreign national is arrested or otherwise detained in the United States, and thus in theory all the discussion that follows is as applicable to the defense of non-capital charges as it is to capital charges.

	TEXAS DEATH PENALTY CASE RAISES QUESTIONS CONCERNING RIGHTS OF FOREIGN NATIONALS IN THE UNITED STATES
		As many as 70 of the 74 foreign nationals awaiting execution on America's "death rows" were never told of their right to contact their consulate, an omission that is a violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
		The failure of police departments to notify foreign nationals of their right to consular assistance is increasingly reaching the courts, although the claim is consistently rejected as a basis for clemency.
		After each execution of a foreign national who was not told of the right to consular assistance, the State Department has issued a formal apology that the police did not follow the Vienna Convention, but has never tried to stop an execution.
