Who can request the International Court of Justice to give an advisory opinion on any legal question
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Article 96 of the UN Charter authorises the General Assembly to request an ICJ advisory opinion on any legal question. The Security Council also has that authority, but an individual permanent member is not the Council itself. Other authorised UN organs and specialised agencies have a more limited power concerning questions within their activities.
