Mexico has filed a declaration of intervention in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday, the ICJ announced in a press release.

Mexico’s move places it on a growing list of countries accusing Israel of violating the UN’s 1948 Genocide Convention.

Since January, Columbia and Libya have also declared their intention to join the case. Other countries including Egypt and Turkey have said they will join.

    What does “join” mean? Cheerleading?

    That won’t help the judges decide anything, as this is a matter of law.

    Maybe they mean collecting proof or helping to pay lawyers?
