She was NOT acquitted. An appeal does not find guilt or innocence. A successful appeal is because the appeal court found something wrong with the trial verdict. It goes back to trial or the prosecution can decline to try again.
Therefore... the treaty does not apply to that. There is no double jeapordy because it is all part of ONE trial.
