The President of the International Court of Justice,

Having regard to Article 66, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the Court,

Whereas on 24 May 1989 the United Nations Economic and Social Council adopted the following resolution (resolution 1989/75):

Having considered resolution 1988/37 of 1 September 1988 of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities and Commission on Human Rights resolution 1989/37 of 6 March 1989,

1. Concludes that a difference has arisen between the United Nations and the Government of Romania as to the applicability of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations [General Assembly resolution 22 A (I)] to Mr. Dumitru Mazilu as Special Rapporteur of the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities;

2. Requests, on a priority basis, pursuant to Article 96, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations and in accordance with [p 10] General Assembly resolution 89 (I) of 11 December 1946, an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the legal question of the applicability of Article VI, Section 22, of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations in the case of Mr. Dumitru Mazilu as Special Rapporteur of the Sub-Commission";

Whereas certified true copies of the English and French texts of that resolution were transmitted to the Court by a letter from the Secretary-General of the United Nations dated 1 June 1989, and received in the Registry on 13 June 1989;

Whereas in fixing time-limits for the proceedings, it is necessary to bear in mind that the request for opinion was expressed to be made "on a priority basis",

Fixes 31 August 1989 as the time-limit within which States and organizations having presented written statements may submit written comments on other written statements, in accordance with Article 66, paragraph 4, of the Statute of the Court;

Reserves the subsequent procedure for further decision.
