As you know, ICJ judgment of Nov 19, 2012, was followed 10 days after by Colombia withdrawal of the "Pacto de Bogota": a very first "premiere" in international law of a country withdrawing a treaty signed ... in its own capital (!).

During final oral pleadings last Octobre 15 on preliminary objections, the inusual presence of political authorities from Colombia and the use of only one language (instead of  both languages uses at ICJ) are part of Colombia´s strategy (in my modest view, quite peculiar).

Sincerely yours
