The US Supreme Court declined to review the case of Osbaldo Torres, a Mexican national facing execution in the US state of Oklahoma, who claimed he did not get consular assistance as required by international law.
Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen Breyer went on record noting misgivings with the decision.
Torres claimed state authorities violated the 1963 Vienna Convention by not giving him access to assistance from Mexican consular officials, but lower courts rejected that claim.
Mexico appealed to the International Court of Justice on Torres' behalf, accusing the United States of violating the convention.
In separate dissents, Justices Stephen Breyer and John Paul Stevens said the court had an obligation to decide whether the United States was fulfilling its obligations under the convention.
"This case raises important questions concerning the relations between ... the domestic law of the United States, and ... decisions of the International Court of Justice interpreting the convention," Breyer wrote.
