3. BALTISH and DANU are two adjacent States which sought the ICJ in
resolving "Land, Island and Maritime Frontier Dispute". HALLA filed an
application to intervene based on Art. 62 of the ICJ Statute:
The Court points out that there must be a legal interest that may be
affected. Further, Rules of Court require a statement of the precise
object of intervention. BALTISH contends that for intervention to be
proper, HALLA must also show a valid like of jurisdiction between
HALLA and the original parties to the dispute. HALLA however bases
jurisdiction only upon the ICJ Statute and states that Art. 62 does not
require a separate title of jurisdiction. In case of Intervention, can a
3rd-party State (that has legal interests) involve itself in the
proceedings without the consent of the original parties? Explain.

9. The City Mayor issued an Executive Order declaring that the city
promotes responsible parenthood and upholds natural family
planning. He prohibits all hospitals operated by the city from
prescribing the use of artificial methods of contraception, including
condoms, pills, intrauterine devices and surgical sterilization. As a
result, poor women in his city lost their access to affordable family
planning programs. Private clinics, however, continue to render
family planning counsel and devices to paying clients. Is the
Philippines in breach of any obligation under international law?
