International
Court of Justice
The International Court of
Justice (ICJ) is the only major United Nations branch located
outside of New York. Based in The Hague, The Netherlands, the ICJ
is composed of nine judges, elected by independent votes of the
Security Council and the General Assembly. The selection attempts
to include all major legal systems of the world and no two judges
in the IJC may be nationals of the same state. Each judge serves
a renewable nine-year term.
The International Court of Justice is open
to all member states of the United Nations and can be open to non-member
states upon request (Switzerland and Nauru have become members of
the ICJ Statute in this manner). The ICJ is not open to private
individuals. Any of these nations may refer a matter to the Court.
The jurisdiction of the ICJ includes any question that states voluntarily
bring before it and all matters in the UN Charter and treaties currently
in force. In addition, the General Assembly and the Security Council
can ask the Court for an advisory opinion on any legal matter. Other
UN organs and organizations may also ask for opinions on issues
within the scope of their activities when given permission by the
General Assembly. The ICJ maintains a separate Chamber for Environmental
Matters.
