Question
What is the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice?
Solution
The Court possesses compulsory jurisdiction over all matters provided in the United Nations Charter or in treaties and conventions in force. A State may declare under the ‘optional clause’ that it recognizes as compulsory for another State to accept a particular obligation under the Court’s jurisdiction. This can be only in case the States have already made an arrangement to this effect.
