The Commision is a party to this case and presented its request on October 2, 1989.
Since the judgment was notified on July 21, 1989, the request was presented within
the period stipulated by that Article.
15. In its brief of July 6, 1990, the Commission asked the Court to admit a request
for amplification of the petition for clarification of the judgment, based on a new fact
that was not known at the time of the first request, that is to say, the Government's
delay in paying the damages. Since the Court will base its decision in the instant
request on other grounds, it does not deem it necessary to address the possibility of
extending a request beyond the specific period fixed by the Convention. The same
reason makes it unnecessary for the Court to deal with the doctrine of new facts
which is applied in other tribunals.
