The full text of the court's order can be accessed at https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20240328-ord-01-00-en.pdf.

The additional provisional measures are set forth on page 13.

One may eagerly anticipate one of the spokepeople for the U.S. government being asked whether the United States considers orders of the International Court of Justice, like resolutions passed by the UN Security Council, to be non-binding.
