BRUSSELS, 26 January 2024 / PRN Africa / -- We take note of today's order of the International Court of Justice on South Africa's request for the indication of provisional measures.

The EU reaffirms its continuing support to the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.

Orders of the International Court of Justice are binding on the Parties and they must comply with them. The EU expects their full, immediate and effective implementation.

The right of each Party to submit arguments in respect of jurisdiction, admissibility or the merits remains unaffected by the today's decision on the South Africa's request for the indication of provisional measures.
