Incredible milestone for @VanuatuUN and the core group (🇻🇺🇦🇴🇦🇬🇧🇩🇨🇷🇫🇲🇲🇦🇲🇿🇳🇿🇩🇪🇱🇮🇵🇹🇷🇴🇼🇸🇸🇱🇸🇬🇺🇬🇻🇳) and importantly the youth advocates that continuously challenge us to do right by them and their futures @pisfcc @WY4CJ @CANPacificIs @afgfiji @Friday4Future @RRegenvanu #ICJAO4Climate

Dear friends and colleagues, As you some of you may know, earlier this year the @CIJ_ICJ Registry released a Note entitled: "Request for Advisory opinion - Procedure followed by the International Court of Justice."  This Note was a boon to many states participating in advisory proceedings, many for the first time, and a useful resource articulating important procedural aspects of participation at the ICJ. At a recent briefing with Legal Advisers, the ICJ President, alluded to this Note potentially being updated. In this regard, we have embarked on collecting feedback from states, International Organizations and other relevant stakeholders to feed into the iteration and further development of the Note. Please do take time to review the current Note, and we welcome responses, feedback and other questions that may assist the ICJ Registry in further developing the Note. Please share your feedback by November 22, 2023 via this form (forms.gle/4TEKwfmyiFauGHAK7). We will duly transmit all results to the ICJ Registry for their consideration. The Note is available online: icj-cij.org/sites/default/fi…

Join us this Tuesday at 5pm NY (Port Vila: Wed 9am, Suva: Wed 10am) for a webinar featuring a excellent panel of International Law experts to discuss The ICJ, Access and Inclusivity, including the role of state representation and pro bono counsel in proceedings. @AOSISChair
