Lawyers for the U.S. and Mexico are back in the International Court of Justice over Mexico's unusual request for an order to delay the imminent executions of five Mexican nationals on Texas' death row because the U.S. remains in default of its treaty obligations. In the meantime, Mexico has asked the court to take "any and all steps necessary" to prevent the execution of its citizens, 50 of whom are on state death rows, and one of whom -- Jose Medellin -- is scheduled for execution in Texas on Aug. 5.
