2 Composed for this case of President Klaestad ; Vice President Zaf rulla Khan ; Judges Haekworth, Winiarski, Badawi, Armand-TJgon, Kojevnikov, Moreno Quintana, Cordova, Wellington Koo, Spiropoulos, Sir Percy Spender, Alf aro; Prof. Boberto Ago of Bome, chosen by Honduras as National Judge ad hoc, and Prof. Francisco Urrutia Holguin, Ambassador of Colombia, chosen by Nicaragua as National Judge ad hoc.

3 National Judge ad hoc Holguín gave a dissenting opinion. While concurring in the result, Judge Spender wrote a separate opinion and Judge Moreno Quintana made a declaration. Sir Percy Spender stressed Nicaragua’s delay in raising objection and long-continued acquiescence in the arbitration, and would have preferred to examine the merits of the several Nicaraguán contentions as to invalidity of the award. Judges Moreno Quintana and Holguín both believed more attention should have been paid to the principle of uti possidetis juris in connection with a boundary dispute between two American Republics.
