The International Court of Justice,
Composed as above,
After deliberation,
Having regard to Article 66, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the Court,
Makes the following Order:
Whereas, on 20 June 1972, the Committee on Applications for Review of
Judgements of the Administrative Tribunal of the United Nations adopted the
following decision: [p 10]
"The Committee on Applications for Review of Administrative Tribunal
Judgements has decided that there is a substantial basis within the meaning
of Article 11 of the Statute of the Administrative Tribunal for the
application for the review of Administrative Tribunal Judgement No. 158,
delivered at Geneva on 28 April 1972.
Accordingly, the Committee requests an advisory opinion of the International
Court of Justice on the following questions:
1. Has the Tribunal failed to exercise jurisdiction vested in it as
contended in the applicant's application to the Committee on Applications
for Review of Administrative Tribunal Judgements (A/AC.86/R.59)?
2. Has the Tribunal committed a fundamental error in procedure which has
occasioned a failure of justice as contended in the applicant's application
to the Committee on Applications for Review of Administrative Tribunal
Judgements (A/AC.86/R.59)?"
Whereas certified true copies of the English and French texts of the
aforesaid decision were transmitted to the Court by a letter of the
Secretary-General of the United Nations dated 28 June
1972 and filed in the Registry on 3 July 1972;
Whereas the Secretary-General has stated in his letter:
"as required by paragraph 2 of Article 11 of the Statute of the United
Nations Administrative Tribunal, I shall arrange to transmit to the Court
any views which the applicant to the Committee on Applications for Review of
Administrative Tribunal Judgements may wish to submit",
The Court
Fixes 20 September 1972 as the time-limit within which written statements
may be submitted in accordance with Article 66, paragraph 2, of the Statute
of the Court;
Reserves the subsequent procedure for further decision.
Done in English and in French, the English text being authoritative, at the
Peace Palace, The Hague, this fourteenth day of July, one thousand nine
hundred and seventy-two.
