International Court of Justice  

Définition

  • The term International Court of Justice (ICJ, Court) refers to the main judicial unit of the United Nations and one of its six principal organs. It was established by the Charter of the United Nations (UN Charter), signed on June 26, 1945, in San Francisco, in pursuance of one of the primary purposes of the United Nations, as enshrined in the opening paragraph of Article 1 of its charter, namely, “to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace.” In short, the ICJ forms an integral part of the new world order heralded by the creation of the United Nations after the end of World War II. Indeed, a cardinal principle of the UN Charter is the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and the natural corollary to that pledge is the prohibition on the use of military force.
