“Article 34, paragraph 2, of the Statute provides that the Court shall receive the relevant information to cases before it presented by public international organizations on their own initiative and Article 69, paragraph 2, of the Rules of Court states that when a public international organization sees fit to furnish, on its own initiative, information relevant to a case before the Court, it shall do so in the form of a Memorial to be filed in the Registry before the closure of the written proceedings”.
