Extract

The pronouncement of the International Court of Justice on Namibia lends itself to commentaries of many kinds. Far-reaching conclusions, even too far-reaching for many people, can be drawn from it. The accuracy of these conclusions, however, will depend primarily on the definition of the context within which the Court made its pronouncement. It is my firm conviction that this context is determined by the characteristics of the Mandate “Agreement”, characteristics which are absolutely unique and which can, therefore, in my opinion, be used as a basis for an argument per analogiam only with the greatest caution.
