ICJ
Description of Committee
Description of Committee
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, responsible for settling legal disputes between states and providing advisory opinions on international legal issues. In MUN, the ICJ functions differently from typical committees—delegates take on the roles of judges, advocates, analyzing real-world cases based on international law.
Rather than passing resolutions, the ICJ delivers reasoned verdicts after hearing legal arguments from both sides. It is a unique committee that emphasizes legal reasoning, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of international law.

In MUN, it is a fast-paced and strategic committee where delegates must respond to real-time global crises, navigate high-level diplomacy, and craft binding resolutions while accounting for the influence of the veto.
