Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Statements B and C are correct. All members of the United Nations are ipso facto parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, and a State that is not a member may become a party to the Statute under Article 93 of the UN Charter. Statement A is wrong because Article 34 of the Statute provides that only States may be parties in cases before the Court.
