Order made on May 9th, 1950

COLOMBIAN-PERUVIAN
ASYLUM CASE

The President of the International Court of Justice,
Having regard to Article 48 of the Statute of the Court,
Having regard to Articles 37, 38 and 46 of the Rules of Court,

«Having regard to the Orders made on October 20th, 1940,
and December 17th, 1949, to determine the procedure in the
dispute between the Republic of Colombia and the Republic of
Peru (right of asylum case},

Whereas on May 5th, 1950, the Agent of the Government of
the Republic of Peru has requested that the time-limit for the
presentation of this Government’s Rejoinder, which had been
fixed previously to May 30th, 1050, be extended to June 15th, 1950 ;

Whereas, by letter of May 8th, 1950, the Agent of the Govern-
ment of the Republic of Colombia has advised that for different
reasons submitted-by him he is compelled to object to this request ;

Whereas, in view of the priority which the Court must give to
other cases actually pending before it and of the time which,
according to indications supplied orally by the Agent of the
Government of Colombia, must elapse between the presentation
of the Rejoinder of the Government of the Republic of Peru
and the opening of the oral proceedings, whether the date pre-
viously fixed for the deposit of this Rejoinder be maintained to
May 30th, or extended to June 15th, 1950, does not appear as
likely to affect the opening of the oral proceedings in this case ;
