How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.

(a)What is the main objective of International Court of Justice?[2]
Answer
The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations under Article 92 of the Charter, sitting at The Hague, with fifteen judges elected for nine years by the General Assembly and the Security Council voting separately. Its role is twofold.
Contentious jurisdiction: to decide, in accordance with international law, disputes submitted to it by States, which alone may be parties (Article 34(1)); its judgment is final and without appeal (Article 60) and binds only the parties in that case (Article 59), and Article 94 obliges Members to comply.
Advisory jurisdiction under Article 96 of the Charter: to give advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the General Assembly or the Security Council, or of other authorised organs and specialised agencies on questions arising within the scope of their activities; such opinions are not binding but carry great authority.
