SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE AD HOC BARAK
Declaration of Judge Charlesworth
DECLARATION OF JUDGE CHARLESWORTH
1. I have voted for the three provisional measures indicated by the Court, which supplement the measures contained in the Order of 26 January 2024. I regret, however, that subparagraph (2) (b) of the operative paragraph is drafted in such opaque terms that it fails to provide clear guidance to the Parties.
2. The case before the Court is brought in the context of an ongoing conflict that is causing enormous loss of life and human suffering. In January, the Court described the immediate background to this conflict in these terms:
Declaration of Judge Nolte
SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE NOLTE
Preconditions for the modification of an order on provisional measures under Article 76 of the Rules of Court Modification as a form of implementation of an earlier provisional measure Whether change of the situation in the Gaza Strip since 26 January 2024 justifies the modification.
1. I agree with the present Order. Given the current horrific situation of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, raising any apparently technical legal issues now may seem out of place. However, I will do so in the interest of the Court’s future practice.
