It may form other special chambers, depending upon the need. The Tribunal is also required to form an ad hoc chamber for dealing with a particular dispute submitted to it, if the parties so request. The composition of such an ad hoc chamber is required to be determined by the Tribunal with the approval of the parties. This option would be of particular interest to parties who are considering arbitration. The costs of an ad hoc chamber are met from the general budget of the Tribunal and are not borne by the parties to the case.
Parties also have the option of choosing ad hoc judges on their behalf.
And a judgment given by any of the special chambers of the Tribunal shall be considered as rendered by the Tribunal. Some States have shown interest in ad hoc chambers. The rule of law in international relations cannot be maintained unless international disputes are resolved by peaceful means. It is equally important that judgments rendered by international courts or tribunals are implemented in good faith and in time by States and other parties to international adjudication. This exhortation is equally relevant in respect of decisions of all international courts or tribunals, whether within the framework of the United Nations system or outside.
