1 Created by the UN Security Council in 1993, see S/RES/827, May 25,1993.

2 The name of the State evolved from “Federal Republic of Yugoslavia” to “Serbia and Montenegro”. It became the ‘ ‘Republic of Serbia'’ after the independence of Montenegro in 2006. The Court considered that Serbia, which had accepted its legal continuity with Serbia and Montenegro, remained the only Respondent in the case (§§ 67-78).

3 Adopted by the UN General Assembly on December, 9,1948.

4 From a procedural point of view, the hearings devoted to experts, witnesses and witness-experts called by the parties as well as the submission of video material, documents and CD-ROM, raised some difficulties (see¶¶ 40-49). The Court appeared to take into account those elements by revising some of its Practice Directions and adopting new ones (see Press Release 2006/43).

1 Submissions 3 to 6 relate to counter-claims which were subsequently withdrawn (see paragraphs 26 and 27above).
