The Statute of the International Court of Justice is an integral part of the United Nations Charter, as specified by Chapter XIV of the United Nations Charter, which established the International Court of Justice. The statute's chapters are:
- Chapter I: Organization of the Court (Articles 2 - 33)
- Chapter II: Competence of the Court (Articles 34 - 38)
- Chapter III: Procedure (Articles 39 - 64)
- Chapter IV: Advisory Opinions (Articles 65 - 68)
- Chapter V: Amendment (Articles 69 & 70)
Under Article 38.2, the court is allowed to decide a case ex aequo et bono if the parties agree thereto.
Parties to the Statute[edit]
All 193 UN member states are parties to the Statute by virtue of their ratification of the UN Charter. Under Article 93(2) of the UN Charter, states which are not a member of the UN may become a party to the Statute, subject to the recommendation of the UNSC and approval of the UNGA. While no states are currently bound under these provisions,Switzerland (1948-2002), Liechtenstein (1950-1990), San Marino (1954-1992), Japan (1954-1956), and Nauru (1988-1999) were all parties to the Statute prior to becoming full UN member states.[1][2]
