L’audience est ouverte. La Cour siège aujourd’hui pour entendre les exposés oraux des Parties en l’affaire du Différend territorial et maritime (Nicaragua c. Colombie). Je relève que, la Cour ne comptant sur son siège aucun juge de la nationalité des Parties, chacune de celles-ci a usé de la faculté qui lui est conférée par le paragraphe 2 de l’article 31 du Statut de désigner un juge ad hoc. Le Nicaragua a d’abord désigné M. Mohammed Bedjaoui, qui a démissionné le 2 mai 2006, puis M. Giorgio Gaja. Celui-ci ayant été élu membre de la Cour, le Nicaragua a désigné M. Thomas Mensah. Compte tenu de cette décision, le juge Gaja a estimé qu’il convenait pour lui de ne pas prendre part à la suite de la procédure relative à l’affaire, et m’en a informé. La Colombie a d’abord désigné M. Yves Fortier, qui a démissionné le 7 septembre 2010, puis M. Jean-Pierre Cot. L’article 20 du Statut dispose que «[t]out membre de la Cour doit, avant d’entrer en fonction, en séance publique, prendre l’engagement solennel d’exercer ses attributions en pleine impartialité et en toute conscience». En vertu du paragraphe 6 de l’article 31 du Statut, cette disposition s’applique également aux juges ad hoc. M. Cot, qui a participé aux procédures relatives aux requêtes à fin d’intervention déposées en l’affaire respectivement par le Costa Rica et le Honduras, et qui a fait sa déclaration solennelle à l’occasion de l’audience tenue le 11 octobre 2010 sur la requête à fin d’intervention soumise par le Costa Rica, n’est pas tenu de prêter de nouveau serment en la présente procédure.

First it explains how Colombia from the late 1970´s to 1990´s created an order through several delimitation agreements with all the riparian states, except Nicaragua. This first order was built under the assumption that the San Andrés Archipelago was Colombian and that there was a delimitation agreement between Nicaragua and Colombia following the 82nd meridian west. This order was resisted by Nicaragua and contested its basic assumptions in a case before the ICJ.
