evidence: They are also laid down in the Rules of Court in Article 38 for cases instituted by application; and in Article 39 for notification of a special agreement. In the present case the identity of the parties presents no difficulty; but the subject of the dispute is another matter. 35. What, then, is "the subject of the dispute" referred to in Qatar's Application? That Application only presents the questions which Qatar would like the Court to decide. Qatar's "requests" in its Application are thus as follows: "Reserving its right to supplement or amend its requests, the State of Qatar requests the Court: I. To adjudge and declare in accordance with international law (A)that the State of Qatar has sovereignty over the Hawar islands; and, (B)that the State of Qatar has sovereign rights over Dibal and Qit'at Jaradah shoals; and II. With due regard to the line dividing the sea-bed of the two States as described in the British decision of 23 December 1947, to draw in accordance with international law a single maritime boundary between the maritime areas of sea-bed, subsoil and superjacent waters appertaining respectively to the State of Qatar and the State of Bahrain." 36.
