The International Court of Justice, the successor to the Permanent International Court of Justice, can settle international disputes between the 193 Member States of the United Nations. The jurisdiction of the ICJ takes three forms: binding, special agreement and contractual agreement. Seventy-three UN member states have accepted the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ, which means that any international dispute in which these states are involved can be submitted to the court, provided that all states involved in the dispute before the ICJ have accepted their compulsory jurisdiction. States may also submit a dispute to the ICJ by way of a special agreement by recognizing the jurisdiction of the ICJ only with respect to the specific dispute in question. Finally, States may accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ over certain areas of international law if they accede to a treaty that expressly provides that disputes must be submitted to the ICJ for settlement, such as the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

The ICJ has dealt with more than 168 disputes. Parties often sue a defendant who resides in another State. In order for a state court to hear this case, that court must generally meet the constitutional due process requirements for territorial jurisdiction (see above) as well as the legal requirement of the state, generally referred to as a state`s long-sleeved law. 3 With the exception of those in footnote above. 2 17 cases brought by notification of a particular agreement, all the cases at issue were brought before the Court of Justice by appeal, whether the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice is based on a provision of a Treaty or a Convention; Declarations recognising the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice as binding and made by each of the parties to the dispute, or any other presumed form of consent. A threshold concern for all federal courts is the existence or absence of a constitutional position. The requirement of standing, as regulated in Article III of the Constitution, allows federal courts to rule only on cases or controversies. A case or controversy must include an actual violation that can be corrected. See Lujan v. Defender of Wildlife at p. 559. Due to the absence of a constitutional position, there is no substantive jurisdiction.

This restriction prevents courts – whose members are not elected and therefore not politically responsible – from influencing the law in a legislative capacity. In this sense, permanent doctrine and substantive jurisdiction facilitate the separation of powers. Any State which has recognised the mandatory jurisdiction of the Court of Justice shall, in principle, have the right to bring proceedings before the Court of Justice one or more other States which have assumed the same obligation by bringing the matter before the Court of Justice. Conversely, it undertakes to appear before the Court of Justice when one or more other States of this type bring an action against it. Under Article 36(1) of the Statute, the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice covers all cases referred to it by the parties.
