The Balancing of Interests and the Granting of Interim Protection by the International Court DWGreig Professor of Law Australian National University The role of members of the International Court, and indeed of the Court itself, is usually perceived in terms of a duty of judicial impartiality in deciding the issues in dispute between parties to cases brought before the Court. The notion of judicial impartiality is not expressly referred to in the Statute of the Court, except in the context of the solemn declaration required of each member of the Court by Article 20 that "he will exercise his powers impartially and conscientiously".! However, this requirement would seem to be inherent in the office of a judge and therefore to be the basis upon which any adjudicative tribunal should operate. The need for impartiality encompasses the Court's functions in their entirety: a decision that it has jurisdiction as weIl as a decision on the merits of a dispute.
