Title: Interim Measures of Protection and The Substantive Jurisdiction of The International Court
Abstract: It is unlikely that those who were responsible for giving the World Court the power to indicate interim measures of protection could have anticipated the controversy which was ultimately to surround its exercise. Applications for interim measures have been few, even by the inexacting standards of international litigation, but the cases in which such measures have been sought have raised questions of fundamental importance. Controversial issues have included the power of the Court to indicate interim measures on its own initiative, the binding nature and enforceability of interim measures, their purpose and their relation to the Court's substantive jurisdiction, that is its jurisdiction to rule upon the merits of a dispute.
