Which of the following may request the International Court of Justice to give an advisory opinion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Article 96(1) of the UN Charter allows "The General Assembly or the Security Council" to request the International Court of Justice to give an advisory opinion on any legal question. Naming only one of these organs is incomplete. Other organs and specialised agencies may ask only when authorised by the General Assembly under Article 96(2), and the Secretary-General has no independent power to request an opinion.
