DECLARATION OF JUDGE ROBINSON
As set out in joint dissent, Colombia’s third preliminary objection should be
upheld — Declaration elaborates on a particular point of concern — The majority’s

third preliminary objection in the instant case, in so far as Nicaragua’s
continental shelf claim is clearly barred by res judicata. The rationales
underpinning that conclusion are fully canvassed in that joint dissenting
opinion and therefore I shall not reference them herein.
