- 10 of 19 April 2017, and Ukraine to furnish, by the same date, any information it might have in that regard. This information was duly provided on 7 June 2018. Each Party having been given until 21 June 2018 to provide comments on the information submitted by the other, the Court received comments from Ukraine on 12 June 2018 and from the Russian Federation on 21 June 2018. On 18 July 2018, having considered the information and comments submitted to it by the Parties, the Court again requested the Russian Federation to provide, by 18 January 2019, information regarding measures taken by it to implement point (1) (a) of operative paragraph 106 of the Court’s Order of 19 April 2017, and Ukraine to furnish, by the same date, any information it might have in that regard. This information having been transmitted to the Court, each Party was invited to communicate its comments on the information received from the other, by 19 March 2019 at the latest. Both Parties provided their comments on that date. By letters dated 29 March 2019, the Parties were informed that the Court had considered and taken due note of the various communications submitted by them. It was further indicated in this respect that the issues raised in these communications may need to be addressed by the Court at a later juncture, should the case proceed to the merits. Under such circumstances, the Parties would be at liberty to raise any issues of concern to them relating to the provisional measures indicated by the Court. 12. Pursuant to Article 43, paragraph 1, of the Rules of Court, the Registrar addressed to States parties to the ICSFT and to States parties to CERD the notifications provided for in Article 63, paragraph 1, of the Statute. In addition, with regard to both of these instruments, in accordance with Article 69, paragraph 3, of the Rules of Court, the Registrar addressed to the United Nations, through its Secretary-General, the notifications provided for in Article 34, paragraph 3, of the Statute. 13. By an Order dated 12 May 2017, the President of the Court fixed 12 June 2018 and 12 July 2019 as the respective time-limits for the filing of a Memorial by Ukraine and a Counter-Memorial by the Russian Federation. The Memorial of Ukraine was filed within the time-limit thus fixed. 14. On 12 September 2018, within the time-limit prescribed by Article 79, paragraph 1, of the Rules of Court of 14 April 1978 as amended on 1 February 2001, the Russian Federation raised preliminary objections to the jurisdiction of the Court and the admissibility of the Application. Consequently, by an Order of 17 September 2018, having noted that, by virtue of Article 79, paragraph 5, of the Rules of Court of 14 April 1978 as amended on 1 February 2001, the proceedings on the merits were suspended, the President of the Court fixed 14 January 2019 as the time-limit within which Ukraine could present a written statement of its observations and submissions on the preliminary objections raised by the Russian Federation. Ukraine filed such a statement within the time-limit so prescribed and the case thus became ready for hearing in respect of the preliminary objections. 15. Referring to Article 53, paragraph 1, of the Rules of Court, the Government of the State of Qatar asked to be furnished with copies of the Memorial of Ukraine and the preliminary objections of the Russian Federation filed in the case, as well as any documents annexed thereto. Having ascertained the views of the Parties in accordance with the same provision, the Court decided, taking into account the objection raised by one Party, that it would not be appropriate to grant that request. The Registrar duly communicated that decision to the Government of the State of Qatar and to the Parties.
