International Court of Justice (ICJ)

The ICJ functions as the highest judicial authority in the United Nations, resolving disputes between states and issuing advisory opinions. The International Court of Justice, headquartered in The Hague, serves as the UN’s primary judicial organ. At KMUN’25, the ICJ will deliberate the case of South Africa v. Israel, concerning the application of the Genocide Convention in the Gaza Strip. Delegates will take on the roles of legal representatives and judges, carefully examining evidence and arguments from both sides in one of the most high-stakes legal debates on the international stage.
