The International Court of Justice (French: Cour internationale de justice; commonly referred to as the World Court or ICJ) is the primary judicial branch of the United Nations (UN). Seated in the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, the court settles legal disputes submitted to it by states and to provides advisory opinions on legal questions submitted to it by duly authorized international branches, agencies, and the UN General Assembly.
Established in 1945 by the UN Charter, the Court began work in 1946 as the successor to the Permanent Court of International Justice. The Statute of the International Court of Justice, similar to that of its predecessor, is the main constitutional document constituting and regulating the Court.
The Court's workload covers a wide range of judicial activity. After the court ruled that the United States's covert war against Nicaragua was in violation of international law (Nicaragua v. United States), the United States withdrew from compulsory jurisdiction in 1986 to accept the court's jurisdiction only on a case-by-case basis.Chapter XIV of the United Nations Charter authorizes the UN Security Council to enforce Court rulings. However, such enforcement is subject to the veto power of the five permanent members of the Council, which the United States used in the Nicaragua case.
International courts are formed by treaties between nations or under the authority of an international organization such as the United Nations and include ad hoc tribunals and permanent institutions but exclude any courts arising purely under national authority.
Early examples of international courts include the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals established in the aftermath of World War II. Three such courts are presently located at The Hague in the Netherlands: the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Further international courts exist elsewhere, usually with their jurisdiction restricted to a particular country or issue, such as the one dealing with the genocide in Rwanda. In addition to international tribunals created to address crimes committed during genocides and civil war, ad hoc courts combining international and domestic strategies have also been established on a situational basis. Examples of these “hybrid tribunals” are found in Sierra Leone, Lebanon, East Timor, and Cambodia.

Kenya put up a spirited defence against claims by its northern neighbour Somalia of plotting to alienate its maritime boundaries. Attorney General Professor Githu Muigai led a team of five lawyers in putting up Kenya's defence as the International Court of Justice began hearing a decade long maritime border dispute between Kenya and Somalia. The Attorney General accused Somalia of reneging on an earlier agreement on how to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means and accused the horn of Africa country of ignoring the sacrifices Kenya had made to restore peace and stability in its neighbouring country.

The importance of international law rises in the wake of the Bush administration. Question: How effective is the ICJ?Kal Raustiala: We've had a mixed record with it so- but the ICJ- the problem with the ICJ is it's effective at certain things. What it tends to do, kind of the bread and butter, would be a territorial dispute about where the border is and a river between two countries, and what you kind of need in that situation is just a neutral arbiter. You need someone to come in and for domestic political reasons maybe you don't want to give up this little island that somebody else is claiming, and the ICJ is very good at sort of just drawing a line and making a decision that seems neutral and acceptable to both sides. The problem with the ICJ is when it wades in to more controversial i...

A territorial dispute pitting Kenya against its northern neighbour Somalia continued at the Hague with the Horn of Africa country accusing Kenya obstructing efforts to resolve a long running dispute over the maritime boundary. Somalia has slammed claims by Kenyan Attorney General Prof. Githu Muigai accusing her of jumping the gun when it filed the case at the International Court of Justice, saying it turned to the Hague based court as a last resort after negotiations failed. Somalia claims the 2009 agreement did not bar it from exploring alternative ways of resolving the deadlock.

MFA Antonio Miloshoski (2006-2011) addressing the International Court of Justice in the Hague. It is the case of Macedonia against Greece for breaching the 1995 Interim Accord by blocking country's accession to NATO at a summit in Bucharest in 2008. Macedonia has sought the court to order Greece to abide by its obligations stemming from the Interim Accord and not to block Macedonia's membership into international organizations. Athens founded its defense claiming that there was no veto at the Bucharest summit, but a consensus reached between NATO member countries to delay Macedonia's accession until a solution to the name dispute was found. Greece asked the ICJ to declare that the case didn't fall within its jurisdiction. With 15 votes "for" and only one "against" the ICJ concluded that Gr...
