Application for revision of a judgment (Article 61, Statute of the Court)

In the creation of the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ), the possibility of judgment revision was established in Article 61, which substantially coincided with Article 55 of the 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes.5 The Statute of the International Court of Justice (hereinafter ‘ICJ’ or ‘the Court’) followed the tendency and also recognizes the application for revision with only some minor semantic changes from the PCIJ’s Statute.6
