Washington, DC, USA
On July 16, 2008, the International Court of Justice provided the United States with a clarification to take all measures necessary to ensure that five Mexican nationals are not executed pending its final judgment in The Case Concerning Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America). Its order is timely as Jose Medellin, one of the Mexicans concerned in the case, is scheduled to be executed on August 5, 2008 in Texas. According to the Houston Chronicle, Texas governor, Rick Perry, intends to execute Avena despite the World Court order. -- Christina E.
