The opinion

ROGERS, Circuit Judge,

concurring.

I join the majority opinion.

At one point in the petitioners’ brief, they assert that “the sole question before this Court is whether Germany is violating binding norms of international law through its treatment of homeschoolers.” Petitioners’ Br. 37. Our role, however, is not that of an international court adjudicating Germany’s obligations to other countries in respect of its own citizens. Instead we sit as a court of the United States, enforcing statutes that implement some of the international obligations of the United States to other countries in respect of asylum applicants. As explained by the majority opinion, those obligations are fully met in this case.
