Which of the following jurisdictions of the International Court of Justice has been wrongly listed?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Articles 36 and 37 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, the Court's contentious jurisdiction is classified into voluntary jurisdiction (cases referred by agreement of the parties), compulsory jurisdiction (under optional-clause declarations), and transferred jurisdiction (transferred from the Permanent Court of International Justice). Because the Court has no general appellate jurisdiction, appellate jurisdiction is not one of the standard heads of its jurisdiction.
