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.
It says there that they filed a declaration with the court. They've joined the accusers. It's maybe like filing an amicus brief basically adding weight by saying they agree with South Africa and giving reasons why. Not sure how much more they can do. They'd need to investigate and compile evidence to really help but I'm not sure if South Africa needs help with that or not.
Thank you for the update!

Literally the text right here on this site without even needing to click the link:
When done in the ICJ as I understand it (badly) it's not like just a press conference where a Foreign Minister throws accusations or insults. This is going to the court as one of the parties who may bring action against other parties and saying to the court "we bring action, here's the basis, here are our charges". As I understand it (again could be wrong, correct me if so) ICJ as a venue for country level disputes doesn't have like a prosecutor like the ICC, instead a country comes up, prosecutes their own case (with or without support from others) against another country who defends their case in front of a panel of judges.
