  > Just wondering: What would be the appeals process if he were actually kidnapped by the US government in a foreign country. The appeals process that would go through a system with the power to matter would be through the US courts and would almost certainly be unsuccessful, see U.S. v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 US 655 (1992) [1]. > Is there some court by the United Nations that is mediating such cases even if there is an extreme power imbalance between both nations? A case could be filed in the International Court of Justice by the offended country against the US alleging violation of a treaty or some other element of international law within the competence of the Court, but for consideration of how much that would be worth even if the offended country won the case, consider Nicaragua v. United States [1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua_v._United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua_v._United_States
