The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea imposes provisional measures regarding the disputes submitted to it, and to the arbitration courts, when requested by one or all of the parties to the dispute. Order these measures, and the parties have the right to submit this request as of the date of referring the dispute to the court, and until the court’s ruling in the dispute.
