The Government of India also submits that subparagraph 7 of paragraph
1 of its Declaration of 15 September 1974 bars Pakistan from
invoking the jurisdiction of this Court against India concerning any
dispute arising from the interpretation or application of a multilateral
treaty, unless at the same time al1 the parties to such a treaty are
also joined as parties to the case before the Court. The reference to
the UN Charter, which is a multilateral treaty, in the Application of
Pakistan as a basis for its claim would clearly fall within the ambit of
this reservation. India further asserts that it has not provided any
consent or concluded any special agreement with Pakistan which
waives this requirement.
