国际法院已作出判决的“澳大利亚诉日本捕鲸案”中新西兰是以什么身份参与的？

On February 6, 2013, the Court confirmed New Zealand’s right to intervene based on its status as a party to the ICRW. Japan did not object to New Zealand’s intervention, but it did raise a number of concerns that it urged the Court to consider, mainly related to the appearance that Australia was getting a second bite at the apple through New Zealand’s identical interest in the dispute, notably by having a judge of New Zealand nationality on the court and a judge appointed ad hoc by Australia. For Australia, New Zealand’s intervention was admissible. The International Whaling Commission was informed of Australia’s Application by the Court and replied that it would not submit observations, which would be allowed under Article 69, paragraph 3, of the Rules of Court.
