SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE AD HOC SIMMA Existence of the dispute as a condition to the exercise of the Court’s contentious jurisdiction — Question whether the dispute between the Parties continued to exist at the time of the decision — “Convergence of positions” not an agreement — Interpretation of the submissions of the Parties — Hollowed out dispute — The role of the Court in the pacific settlement of disputes. 1. I have voted with some reluctance in favour of the operative part of this Judgment.

DECLARATION OF JUDGE CHARLESWORTH Concurrence with the Court’s findings in relation to two submissions — Disagreement with the Court’s conclusion that the remaining claims and counter-claims no longer have any object — Complexity and uncertainty introduced by the Judgment in relation to the legal consequences of the disappearance of a dispute — Distinction between the disappearance of a claim’s object and the convergence of the parties’ positions.

DECLARATION OF JUDGE TOMKA Power of the Court to interpret the submissions of the parties — Ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of the submissions — Decisive weight of the final submissions. 1. Today’s Judgment of the Court most likely comes as a surprise to the Parties, in particular the Applicant. In fact, it decides almost nothing. Four of the final submissions of Chile are found to no longer have any object, and the last one is rejected. Of the three counter-claims made by Bolivia, the first two are found to no longer have any object, and the last one is rejected. 2.
