The Weekly Round Up: “One-In-One-Out”; Brazil intervenes at ICJ; and Convention Rights and the Extradition Act in the High Courtby Benjamin SavillIn the newsThe UK Government enforced its first deportations under its controversial “one-in-one-out” asylum-seeker agreement with France this week, despite an interim injunction on Wednesday temporarily blocking the removal of one Eritrean national.
The Court confirmed on Friday that Brazil had invoked Article 63 of the ICJ statute, joining states including Belgium, Ireland, Mexico, Spain and Türkiye as formal interveners.
The ICJ has now invited South Africa and Israel to “furnish written observations on the declaration of intervention”.
The ICJ case was filed by South Africa in December 2023 and is not expected to conclude for some years.
It refused, however, the claimant permission to challenge the decision on human rights grounds.
