As of 2021, which of the following statements about the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is correct ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The ICJ’s regular membership may not include two nationals of the same State, under Article 3 of its Statute. The Court has fifteen members, and their ordinary elected term is nine years. The nationality statement is therefore correct; the alternatives giving twelve judges and five-year terms are incorrect, and Peter Tomka was not the Court’s President in 2021.
