Frontier Dispute, (Burkina Faso/Republic of Mali),
Provisional Measures, Order of 10 January 1986
I.C.J. Reports 1986, p. 3
[p. 11] Whereas, so far as the administration of the dispute area is
concerned, the Chamber does not, at the stage of provisional measures, consider
itself empowered to modify the situation which prevailed before the armed
actions leading to the filing of the Parties' requests; and whereas it is
necessary at all events to avoid prejudging in that connection the existence of
any specific line;
Whereas the decision rendered in these present proceedings must not prejudge
any question relating to the merits of the case brought before the Chamber, and
must leave intact the rights of the Parties in that respect.
