The '''International Court of Justice''' ('''ICJ'''), or colloquially the '''World Court''', is the international court that adjudicates general disputes between nations, and gives advisory opinions on international legal issues. It is one of the six organs of the [[United Nations]] (UN), and is located in [[The Hague]], [[Kingdom of the Netherlands|Netherlands]].<br />
<br />
The ICJ is composed of 15 judges elected to 9 year terms by the [[UN General Assembly]] and the [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]]. Although there are not a formal rule, judges are typically distributed by geographic regions on a basis of 5 for [[Imperial core|the West]], 3 for [[Africa]], 2 for [[Eastern Europe]], 3 for [[Asia]] and 2 for [[Latin America]]. This composition gives Western interests an advantage, with nearly half of the seats being held by Western/European countries whilst Asia only has 3 seats despite having 60% of the world's population.<br />
