INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), established in 1945 under the Charter of the United Nations, is the principal judicial organ of the UN. The ICJ resolves disputes between states and provides advisory opinions on legal questions submitted by authorized international organizations and agencies, serving as a cornerstone for maintaining international law and order. The objectives of the ICJ include the peaceful resolution of legal disputes between states, the interpretation and application of international law, and the promotion of global justice through its advisory opinions.

This committee will operate using the International Debate System, a unique format designed to simulate the ICJ's deliberative processes. For more details on its structure and procedures, please refer to the description and operation of the committee document available on this page.
