Having regard to Articles 48 and 62 of the Statute of the Court and to
Articles 31 and 85 of the Rules of Court,
Having regard to the Special Agreement concluded on 24 May 1986 between the
Republic of El Salvador and the Republic of Honduras for the submission of a
land, island and maritime frontier dispute between the two States to a
chamber of the Court,

under Article 62 of the Statute of the Court filed by the Republic of
Nicaragua on 17 November 1989; and
Whereas by a Judgment delivered on 13 September 1990 the Chamber found that
Nicaragua had shown that it had an interest of a legal nature which may be
affected by part of the Judgment of the Chamber on the merits in the present
case, namely its decision on the legal regime of the waters of the Gulf of
Fonseca, but not by its decision on other issues in dispute, and decided
that Nicaragua was permitted to intervene in the case, pursuant to Article
62 of the Statute, to the extent, in the manner and for the purposes therein
indicated, but not further or otherwise; [p147]

desire, furnish their written observations on the written statement of the
Republic of Nicaragua;
And reserves the subsequent procedure for further decision.

nine hundred and ninety, in four copies, one of which will be placed in the
