International Court of Justice (ICJ)

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial body of the United Nations, located in The Hague, Netherlands. It resolves legal disputes between countries and provides advisory opinions on international legal questions. The ICJ promotes peaceful relations between nations by interpreting and applying international law. Cases can involve issues like territorial disputes, treaty violations, and human rights. The court's decisions are binding on the parties involved, but it lacks enforcement power, relying on countries to comply voluntarily. Established in 1945, the ICJ plays a crucial role in upholding international law and justice.
