a party to <strong>the</strong> dispute (in this Rule called <strong>the</strong> ―non-disputing party‖) to file a written<br />
submission with <strong>the</strong> Tribunal regarding a matter within <strong>the</strong> scope of <strong>the</strong> dispute. In<br />
determining whe<strong>the</strong>r to allow such a filing, <strong>the</strong> Tribunal shall consider, among o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
things, <strong>the</strong> extent to which:<br />
(a) <strong>the</strong> non-disputing party submission would assist <strong>the</strong> Tribunal in <strong>the</strong> determination<br />
of a factual or legal issue related to <strong>the</strong> proceeding by bringing a perspective,<br />
particular knowledge or insight that is different from that of <strong>the</strong> disputing<br />
parties;<br />
(b) <strong>the</strong> non-disputing party submission would address a matter within <strong>the</strong> scope of<br />
<strong>the</strong> dispute;<br />
(c) <strong>the</strong> non-disputing party has a significant interest in <strong>the</strong> proceeding.<br />
The Tribunal shall ensure that <strong>the</strong> non-disputing party submission does not disrupt<br />
<strong>the</strong> proceeding or unduly burden or unfairly prejudice ei<strong>the</strong>r party, and that both<br />
parties are given an opportunity to present <strong>the</strong>ir observation on <strong>the</strong> non-disputing<br />
party submission‖<br />

Tribunal shall be made as early as possible. A party shall file <strong>the</strong> objection with <strong>the</strong><br />
Secretary-General no later than <strong>the</strong> expiration of <strong>the</strong> time limit fixed for <strong>the</strong> filing of<br />
<strong>the</strong> counter-memorial, or, if <strong>the</strong> objection relates to an ancillary claim, for <strong>the</strong> filing<br />
of <strong>the</strong> rejoinder—unless <strong>the</strong> facts on which <strong>the</strong> objection is based are unknown to <strong>the</strong><br />
party at that time.‖<br />
