On 18 April 1946, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) held its opening session during a solemn inaugural sitting at the Peace Palace in The Hague. As the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, the Court was part of the international institutional framework devised in the aftermath of World War II. Its establishment was accompanied by formidable aspirations. It was hoped that the Court would contribute to “substituting orderly judicial processes for the vicissitudes of war and the reign of brutal force” (United Nations Conference on International Organization, 1945).
