To file an application for revision for an International Court of Justice judgement, which of the following statement is untrue
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The twelve-month statement is untrue. Article 61(4) of the ICJ Statute requires a revision application within six months of discovering the new fact, and Article 61(5) additionally bars revision after ten years from the judgment. The fact must be decisive and must have been unknown to both the Court and the applicant when judgment was given; the applicant's ignorance must not result from negligence. Both time limits matter, so discovery within the ten-year period does not grant a fresh twelve months to apply.
