The document below my comments, is an official press release from the International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice is where the immigration fight will eventually be lost or won. In the below case they are circumventing, if not actually altering or dictating , the laws of our nation.

Indeed, if history, and an established pattern of action, is a valid barometer for future deeds by the International Court of Justice, then they certainly will be attacking our immigration laws and border policy.

It is entirely plausible, that based on the deaths of illegals on traveling into the US; the ICY will allow foreign nations to sue America for human rights violations.

If we do not want to kowtow to third world powers, if we do not want our nation reduced to their level, we must abrogate, we must nullify our agreements and treaties with global organizations that are garroting our sovereignty and circumventing our system of justice. .

“The International Court of Justice, which sits at The Hague, in the Netherlands, acts as a world court… It was set up in 1945 under the Charter of the United Nations to be the principal judicial organ of the Organization.” From the ICJ website at: http://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/igeneralinformation/ibbook/Bbookframepage.htm

Subject: International Court of Justice - Press Release 2003/25 - Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America) The Court will hold public hearings from 15 to 19 December 2003

Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America) The
Court will hold public hearings from 15 to 19 December 2003

THE HAGUE, 25 July 2003. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), principal
judicial organ of the United Nations, will hold public hearings in the case
concerning Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of
America) from Monday 15 to Friday 19 December 2003 at the Peace Palace in
The Hague, seat of the Court.

History of the Proceedings

On 9 January 2003 Mexico initiated proceedings before the Court against the
United States of America in a dispute concerning alleged violations of
Articles 5 and 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 24 April
1963 with respect to 54 Mexican nationals who had been sentenced to death in
certain States of the United States.

Pending final judgment in the case, Mexico further asked the Court to
indicate provisional measures, and in particular to order the United States
to take all measures necessary to ensure that no Mexican national was
executed, and that no action was taken that might prejudice the rights of
the United Mexican States or its nationals with respect to any decision the
Court might render on the merits of the case.

On 5 February 2003, the Court unanimously adopted an Order indicating
provisional measures. In that Order, it decided that the "United States of
America shall take all measures necessary to ensure that Mr. César Roberto
Fierro Reyna, Mr. Roberto Moreno Ramos and Mr. Osvaldo Torres Aguilera, [of
Mexican nationality], are not executed pending final judgment in these
proceedings"; that the "United States of America shall inform the Court of
all measures taken in implementation of this Order"; and that the Court
would remain seised of the matters which formed the subject of the Order
until it had rendered its final judgment.

By a separate Order, also dated 5 February 2003, the Court, taking into
account the views of the Parties, had fixed 6 June 2003 as the time-limit
for the filing of a Memorial by Mexico and 6 October 2003 as the time-limit
for the filing of a Counter-Memorial by the United States of America. By an
Order of 22 May 2003, the President of the Court, at the joint request of
the Parties, extended those time-limits to 20 June 2003 for the Memorial and
to 3 November 2003 for the Counter-Memorial. Mexico filed its Memorial
within the time-limit thus extended.
