Provisional Measures are temporary legal actions taken by courts or tribunals to protect the rights of parties involved in a dispute while a case is still pending. These measures aim to prevent harm or preserve the status quo until a final decision is made. They can include orders to stop certain actions, maintain property, or ensure the safety of individuals. In international law, Provisional Measures can be requested from bodies like the International Court of Justice to address urgent situations. These measures are crucial for ensuring that the eventual ruling is effective and that the parties do not suffer irreparable harm during the legal process.
