The first case is Malaysia’s application for revision of the ICJ’s Judgment pursuant to Article 61 of the Statute of the ICJ, filed on 2 February 2017. The second case is Malaysia’s request for interpretation of the ICJ’s Judgment pursuant to Article 60 of the Statute of the ICJ, filed on 30 June 2017.
The ICJ will hold its public hearings on the admissibility of Malaysia’s application for revision of the ICJ’s Judgment from 11 to 18 June 2018. This will be followed by the ICJ’s public hearings on Malaysia’s request for interpretation of the same Judgment from 18 to 22 June 2018. The ICJ’s public hearings will take place at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.
