The interim government of Honduras has taken Brazil to court, for allowing ousted President Manuel Zelaya to remain in its embassy.
Mr. Zelaya has been inside the embassy since he secretly returned from a 3 months exile on September 21.
At the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Honduran officials said Mr. Zelaya threatened the peace and internal public order of Honduras.
Brazil said the interim government had no authority to lodge such proceedings.
The interim government wants the court to order Brazil to stop providing refuge for Mr. Zelaya.
