Examples of Host state in a sentence
The Host State clearly stated that “[REDACTED]”.27The Pre-Trial Chamber’s failure to provide sufficient notice, and the de facto halt to consultations with the States, deny Mr Mokom the opportunity to find “other safe or viable options” rather than asylum.
The Host State is not foreseen in Rule 185 as a fallback for the Court to shirk a responsibility it no longer wishes to assume, by extricating itself from a situation of its own making.
The first days after Mr Mokom’s release were spent trying to negotiate his new surroundings, contact his family, and seek clarity on the conditions of his temporary stay in the Host State.
Mr Mokom was never given the opportunity to sit down with the Registry, the Host State and/or other State representatives to engage in discussions to find an effective solution which respected his fundamental rights and dignity, and which did not put the Host State in an unwanted situation.
On 18 January 2024, without prior notice or consultation with Mr Mokom or the Host State, the Pre-Trial Chamber ruled that the “residual jurisdiction of the Chamber will conclude and the designation of Mr Mokom's place of stay will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Host State.”22 Such a ruling does not arise from Rule 185, which provides only that the role of the Host State is to “facilitate the transfer”.
