Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled on Monday that foreign legislation did not have jurisdiction in its country, after the United States used a law to sanction a judge on the court.
Treaties in general that Brazil is a signatary of. The ones that legislate human rights are ranked as high as the constitution.
Too bad the US is not a signatory to great many of those treaties.
Aparently they thought US law applied in other countries, so you can see why they were confused
