SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE IWASAWA

SEPARATE OPINION OF VICE-PRESIDENT SEBUTINDE

do I agree with the scanty reasoning that underpins the Order  There is a need to strictly adhere
to the criteria that the Court has developed in its jurisprudence for the indication of provisional
measures  It is highly doubtful whether the Court has prima facie jurisdiction as Nicaragua has
