En el presente artículo, se examinan diversas cuestiones del procedimiento que se sigue en los litigios contenciosos que se ventilan ante la Corte Internacional de Justicia, a la luz de varios pronunciamientos de la Corte contenidos en la sentencia del 16 de diciembre de 2015, en dos procesos acumulados entre Costa Rica y Nicaragua, a saber, el caso “Ciertas actividades adelantadas por Nicaragua en la región fronteriza”, elevado por Costa Rica, y el caso “Construcción de una carretera en Costa Rica a lo largo del río San Juan”, elevado por Nicaragua. En esta sentencia, la Corte incluyó importantes decisiones en relación con aspectos procesales de carácter técnico, como la acumulación de procedimientos, las demandas reconvencionales, las medidas provisionales de protección, las medidas de reparación, el manejo de la evidencia y las costas judiciales. En varios casos, esta decisión introduce considerables innovaciones respecto de la jurisprudencia previa de la CIJ sobre temas procesales
