     PART  I. INTERNATIONAL LAW AND ITS RELATION TO UNITED STATES LAW

     CHAPTER   2. STATUS  OF  INTERNATIONAL LAW AND AGREEMENTS IN UNITED
                                       STATES   LAW

§ 114. Interpretation of Federal Statute in Light of International Law or Agreement

C.A.1, 2017. Quot. in diss. op. Guatemalan citizen who had twice entered the United States unlawfully
and was subject to a reinstated order of removal filed a petition for review after an immigration judge
found that he would face persecution in his home country, and granted his application for withholding of

board of immigration appeals and this court affirmed. The dissent argued that the majority's
construction of the statutory scheme to deny aliens who were subject to reinstated orders of removal the
right to apply for asylum violated the United States' obligations under an international treaty, and thus
was unreasonable under the Charming Betsy doctrine described in Restatement Third of Foreign
Relations Law § 114, which provided that, where fairly possible, United States statutes were to be
