operative provisions of the Judgment, but since 1 have voted against

the Court.

SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE NAGENDRA SINGH

DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE SCHWEBEL

While 1 am in agreement with many elements of the reasoning of the
Judgment of the Court, 1regret to dissent fromthe Judgment in twocritical
respects. In my view, the delimitation line which it lays down is unduly
truncated to defer to the claims of Italy ; and the line is not a median line
between the opposite coasts of Libya and Malta but a "corrected" median
linewhich, as rendered, is incorrect, that is to Say,is inadequately justified
by the applicable principles of law and equity.
