International Court of Justice:-

The International Court of Justice or the ICJ, is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.
The International Court of Justice was established in 1945 by a UN Charter and it began work in 1946, as a successor to the Permanent Court of International Justice.
It settles legal disputes between member countries and gives advisory opinions to authorized UN organs, and specialized agencies.
The ICJ comprises a panel of 15 judges, elected by the General Assembly and the Security Council. These judges are elected for 9 year terms.
The Court sits in the Peace Palace in the Hague, Netherlands.
Chapter 14 of the UN Charter authorizes the UN Security Council to enforce court ruling. However, such enforcement is subject to the veto power of the 5 permanent members of the Security Council.
The Court’s jurisdiction is two-fold:
1.It decides in accordance with the international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States.
2. It also gives advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the organs of the United Nations, specialized agencies or one related organization authorized to make such a request.
