International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court, is the main judicial body of the United Nations.

The seat of the court is in the Peace Palace of The Hague (the Netherlands). Among the six major UN agencies, it is the only institution not found in New York (the United States).

The role of the court is to solve legal disputes raised by the state in accordance with international law and to advise legal issues raised by United Nations accreditation bodies and specialized agencies. The court will decide on disputes between the countries based on voluntary participation of the concerned countries. A country that agrees to participate in the proceedings has an obligation to comply with the court's decision.

The International Court of Justice consists of 15 judges elected to the General Assembly of the United Nations and the Security Council for a term of 9 years. The court can not include multiple citizens of the same country. In addition, the entire court must represent the main form of civilization and the major legal system of the world. These institutions will vote at the same time, but they will vote separately. In order to be elected, the candidate must win the absolute majority of the two agencies' votes. This sometimes requires multiple votes. To ensure a certain degree of continuity, one-third of the courts are elected every three years. A judge is eligible to be reelected. If a judge dies or resigns during his / her term, a special election should be held as soon as possible in order to elect a judge to fill a part of the period that is not yet full.

The International Court of Justice, also known as the "World Court," is the major judicial body of the United Nations. The General Assembly or the Security Council can ask the International Court of Justice for advice on any legal issue. Any agency or agency approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations can submit consultation opinions to the international courts.
