Application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Armenia v. Azerbaijan) Request for the indication of provisional measures
The Court begins by recalling the history of the proceedings in the case, which can be summarized as follows:

DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE AD HOC KOROMA

DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE YUSUF
Dissent to the need for the indication of provisional measures — The undertaking of
Azerbaijan adequately addressed the rights which the Court found plausible — It removed the risk
of irreparable prejudice and urgency — The good faith of a State making a commitment regarding
its conduct is to be presumed — It is erroneous to require that Azerbaijan’s undertakings correspond
in all respects to the measures requested — There was no need to repeat in amended form elements
