DECLARATION OF JUDGE BHANDARI
Timing of declarations of intervention — Article 63 of the Statute of the Court and Article 82 of Rules of Court — No distinction between stages of proceedings — Significance of words “as soon as possible” — Practical and procedural considerations.
1. I agree with the Court’s Order and reasoning. I make this declaration only to add an additional point concerning the timing and practical effects of interventions in a case such as this one.

DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE XUE

DECLARATION OF JUDGE ABRAHAM
[Translation]

DECLARATION OF VICE-PRESIDENT GEVORGIAN
Mass interventions create significant tension between the right conferred by Article 63 of the Statute of the Court and the fair administration of justice — Article 63 of the Statute leaves no discretion to reject declarations of intervention once the procedural requirements are met  Several declarations address matters unrelated to the construction of the Genocide Convention.
