3 A central concern of the United Kingdom government in its negotiations with the European Union on the terms of its departure from the latter was that the European Court of Justice should have no future jurisdiction over it. The South African Development Community Tribunal was disbanded in 2012 following a controversy regarding a 2008 judgment challenging the lack of legal process surrounding Zimbabwe's land reforms.

4 The MERCOSUR was established by the Treaty of Asuncíon in 1991 to create a common market between Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Venezuela acceded in 2013, but its membership was suspended in 2016 because of its democratic failings. A Protocol of Accession was signed for Bolivian membership in 2015, but it has still not been ratified by all national legislatures.

5 The Pacific Alliance was established by a Presidential Declaration in 2011 between Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, which was formalized by a Framework Agreement agreed at Antofagasta, Chile in 2012. A central objective set out in Article 2(1)(a) of the Framework Agreement is a “deep area of integration” in which there is progressive liberalization of the movement of goods, persons, services, and capital.
