Francis A. Boyle (far left) on the floor of the International Court of Justice on 1 April 1993, squaring off against his adversary Shabtai Rosenne from Israel (far right) representing Yugoslavia, just before he argued and then won the first of his two World Court Orders overwhelmingly in favor of  the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Yugoslavia   to cease and desist from committing all acts of genocide in violation of the 1948 Genocide Convention. This was the first time ever that any Government or Lawyer  had won two such Orders in one case since the World Court was founded in 1921. He also won an Article 74(4) Order from the World Court to the same effect.  Under Article 74(4) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, when the Full Court is not in Session, the President of the Court exercises the Full Powers of the Court and can issue an Order that is binding upon the states parties in a case.
