Venezuela has become the 36th country to submit its opinion on Kosovo’s unilateral independence declaration to the International Court of Justice. According to the court, the Venezuelan government was allowed to submit its opinion after the earlier designated deadline of April 17. Venezuela submits opinion to ICJ Venezuela, which has not recognized Kosovo’s independence, later sent a written statement on its opinion on the legality of Kosovo’s unilateral independence declaration to the Hague Palace of Peace on April 24. Venezuela’s submission, along with the other 35, will be filed as confidential by the ICJ, and will not be available to the public at this stage. The opinions received by the Hague court came, in chronological order, from the Czech Republic, France, Cyprus, China, Switzerland, Romania, Albania, Austria, Egypt, Germany, Slovakia, Russia, Finland, Poland, Luxembourg, Libya, Great Britain, the United States of America, Serbia, Spain, Iran, Estonia, Norway, Holland, Slovenia, Latvia, Japan, Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Denmark, Argentina, Azerbaijan, the Maldives, Sierra Leone and Bolivia. The temporary Kosovo authorities, which proclaimed independence in February of last year, also submitted an opinion to the court. In the next phase, which will last until July 17, all the countries will be entitled to submit to the court additional written arguments and comments on the opinions of others participating in the case. The procedure for eliciting the ICJ’s opinion on the legality of the declaration was launched by the UN General Assembly at Serbia’s initiative. The General Assembly’s resolution calls for the ICJ to give its opinion on the legality of Kosovo’s independence proclamation, and to state whether it was in accordance with international law. The court then called on all UN member-states and organizations that believe they can submit important information and opinions on the issue, to do so by April 17. The ICJ will then look at those submissions and schedule a debate, where the sides in question will exchange verbal arguments. The court will then give its advisory opinion on the issue. The ICJ is not bound by any deadlines when it comes to giving its opinion, and cases such as these can drag on for months. Since its founding in 1946, the ICJ has given its opinion on 25 similar international disputes.
