based on:

Sands (a professor of law at University College London, where he directs the Centre for International Courts and Tribunals), points out that Geneva will still apply regardless of what Obama, Bush, or the Congress does. Further, it is not an option, but an obligation, for signators to the Convention to uphold the law. Members of the current administration should be very careful about which countries they chose as destinations in the future.
