美国联邦法院在审理有关主张违反了《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》的案件时既考虑相关的程序问题,也考虑实质问题。但是大量案件的结论都显示该公约对美国法院没有拘束力。那些根据该公约主张权利的当事人,他们想通过美国法院执行权利的愿望常常遭到拒绝。由是观之,从批准人权公约到实现人权,其间还有相当长的距离。 The United States federal court considers both procedural and substantive issues when it comes to adjudicating cases that violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. However, the conclusions of a large number of cases show that the convention is not binding on U.S. courts. Those who claim their rights under the Convention are often denied their desire to enforce their rights through United States courts. From the standpoint of view, there is still a long way to go before ratifying human rights conventions and realizing human rights.
