RESERVATIONS PERTAINING TO THE STATEMENTS
ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF COMPULSORY COMPETENCE
OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE IN THE
DISPUTES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA
V. THE MEMBERS STATES OF NATO

Abstract. Having previously and under certain reservations delivered
a statement on joining the optional clause from paragraph 2 of Article
32 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, the Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia, on 29 April, 1999, applied for the institution of proceedings
and imposition of temporary injunctions against six member states of NATO,
which had also accepted this clause. However, the Court has rejected the
request for temporary injunctions finding out that it had no prima facie
competence. When the states bound under an optional clause are in question,
the Court has cited in favour of that clause the reservation ratione temporis
as well contained in the Yugoslav statement on accepting a compulsory competence.
Such determination of the main court organ of the United Nations has served
the author as a cause to analyse compulsory competence of the International
Court of Justice, permissibility and legal nature of the reservations,
interpretation of rules as well as concrete reservations contained in the
statements of Yugoslavia and the six member states of NATO on the acceptance
of the compulsory competence of the Court.
Key words: International Court of Justice, compulsory
competence, optional clause, reservations, temporary injunctions.
REZERVE UZ IZJAVE O PRIHVATANJU OBAVEZNE
NADLEŽNOSTI MEDJUNARODNOG SUDA PRAVDE
U SPORU SR JUGOSLAVIJE PROTIV DRŽAVA ČLANICA NATO
Pošto je prethodno i uz odredjene rezerve dala izjavu o pristupanju fakultativnoj
klauzuli iz stava 2 člana 36 Statuta Medjunarodnog suda pravde, SR Jugoslavija
29. aprila 1999. godine podnosi zahtev za pokretanje postupka i odredjivanje
privremenih mera protiv šest država članica NATO koje su, takodje, prihvatile
ovu klauzulu. Sud je, medjutim, odbio zahtev za privremenim merama našavši
da nema prima facie nadležnost. Kada je reč o državama koje su vezane fakultativnom
klauzulom, Sud je u prilog toga stava naveo i rezervu ratione temporis
sadržanu u jugoslovenskoj izjavi o prihvatanju obavezne nadležnosti. Takvo
opredeljenje glavnog sudskog organa UN poslužilo je autoru kao povod za
analizu obavezne nadležnosti Medjunarodnog suda pravde, dopuštenosti i
pravne prirode rezervi, pravila tumačenja, kao i konkretnih rezervi sadržanih
u izjavama Jugoslavije i šest članica NATO o prihvatanju obavezne nadležnosti
Suda.
