Provisional measure of protection

A provisional measure of protection is the term that the International Court of Justice (ICJ, World Court) uses to describe a procedure "roughly equivalent"^[1] to an interim order (which can be either a temporary restraining order or a temporary directive order) in national legal systems. The order has also been termed in the press as preliminary measures.^[2] The carrying out of the procedure is termed indicating the provisional measure of protection.^[1] Requests for the indication of provisional measures of protection take priority over all other cases before the ICJ due to their urgency.^[1]
