pour démontrerl'incompétencedela Cour en l'espèce;
8. Considérant qu'à l'ouverture des audiences publiques, qui ont eu
lieu les, 5et 26juin 1973,étaient présentsdevant laCour I'agent, l'agent
adjoint et les conseils du Gouvernement pakistanais;
9. Ayant entendu les observations sur la demande en indication de
mesures conservatoires et les réponses aux questions de membres de la

G. Kharas et M. Yaliya Bakhtiar, Attorney-Generaldu Pakistan;

10. Considérantque,dans unelettredu 11juillet 1973,l'agentdu Pakistan
a informéla Cour qu'il escomptait que des négociationsentre le Pakistan
et l'Inde, où seraient discutées lesquestions qui font l'objet de la requête,
se dérouleraient dans un proche avenir; et que, dans cette lettre, le Gou-
vernement pakistanais prie la Cour de différerla suite de l'examen de la

demande en outre à la Cour de fixer des délaispour le dépôtde pièces

prononcer sur cette demande;
