However, the PCIJ did permit such an appointment in several advisory proce!ings, though also refusing to do so in other proce!ings (see this piece by !uardo Jiménez de Aréchaga).
If one, for now, sets aside the Court’s inconsistent jurisprudence, it would seem to be the job function email database that the advisory proce!ings regarding the Chagos Archipelago touch upon a legal question, even a dispute, actually pending between the UK and Mauritius.
This would mean that the
Court should allow the appointment of Judge(s) ad hoc, if of course the relevant states so request.
However, whether the relevant states would wish to make the request is itself an interesting question. In some ICJ advisory proce!ings where there was arguably a legal question pending between two or more participants in the proce!ings, such as the Wall Advisory Opinion, the relevant participants did not seek the appointment of a Judge ad hoc. The question fac! by Mauritius is one of litigation tactics/strategy.
For Mauritius, the state that does not have a judge of its nationality on the bench, to neurobiology of gambling: what does the brain feel while playing? that it wishes to appoint a Judge ad hoc is to admit that there is a legal question pending between it and the UK. However, that then comes close to admitting the proce!ings relate to a bilateral dispute between it and the UK, the very argument it would be seeking to reject when it argues that the Court should exercise its discretion to hear the advisory proce!ings. For the UK, the question of a Judge ad hoc only rises should Judge Greenwood not be involv! in deciding on the advisory opinion.
