Buenos Aires, August 5 (Mercopress-RHC) -- Argentina's Legal and Technical Secretary to the Presidency, Carlos Zannini, is overseeing a group of experts in international law as they draft the suit the government of President Cristina Fernandez will file against U.S. Judge Thomas Griesa. The judge recently ruled on full repayment to holdout bondholders at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.

According to Noticias Argentinas, the Argentinian government will assert its rights as a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the Organization of American States.

With international legal action in the works, Deputy Economy Minister Emmanuel Alvarez Agis said that the government will insist on the removal of lawyer Daniel Pollack as mediator in the lingering dispute with the holdouts. Agis argues that the mediator has acted subserviently to the interests of the plaintiffs.

The Argentinian government’s lawyers last Friday requested that Pollack be removed, but the motion was denied. Argentina will nonetheless present a written request.

International law dictates that if a sentence by a country’s judicial system affects another state, the dispute can be brought before the international tribunal in the Netherlands.
