Analyzing the decision in the blog of the European Journal of International Law, Dr. Marko Milanovic, a professor at the University of Nottingham School of Law, called the Court's order "obviously a win for The Gambia, and for the Rohingya cause more generally," but also noted that the order largely only replicated existing "state obligations under the Genocide Convention," and did not include the broader measures and statements that The Gambia had requested.
