Who can seek advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice according to U.N. Charter?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 96 permits the General Assembly and Security Council to request an ICJ advisory opinion on any legal question. Other UN organs and specialized agencies may request one when authorized by the General Assembly, but only on legal questions within the scope of their activities. Thus all three listed classes can qualify; individual states cannot themselves make an Article 96 request.
