"tactically opportune in light of current developments"

...sure, but the correct legal term is "ad hoc" (meaning "created for a particular purpose rather than being planned in advance"). "Ad hoc jurisdiction" is a rather common term.

... but "ad hoc jurisdiction" : cf acc. to Article 12(3) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) , which allows a state that is not a party to the Statute to “accept the exercise of jurisdiction by the Court” by way of a declaration lodged with the registrar ... IMO, it's a real legal technical term whereas "de circonstance" is general idiomatic expression

You're right, but "ad hoc" is both a technical term and a common idiom (an ad hoc committee, ad hoc decisions...) I think it works very well here as a translation of "de circonstance".

ad hoc meaning "created for a particular purpose", which is what "de circonstance" means here
