In relation to the International Court of Justice, which statements are correct?
(A) The Court may include two Judges of the same nationality
(B) Judge of the nationality of a disputing party can sit as a Judge
(C) If the Court includes a Judge of the nationality of one of the disputing parties, the other disputing party may choose a person of its nationality to sit as a Judge
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Statements B and C are correct. Under Article 31 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, judges of the nationality of each party retain the right to sit in a case, and if the Bench includes a judge of the nationality of one party, any other party may choose a person to sit as judge ad hoc. Statement A is wrong because Article 3 of the Statute provides that no two members of the Court may be nationals of the same State.
