International Court of Justice

In 2015, the International Court of Justice (icj) delivered three judgments, gave nine orders and had 14 contentious cases pending before it. In a November address to the General Assembly, the icj President, Judge Ronny Abraham, who began his three-year term as President on 6 February, stressed that the Court, having succeeded in eliminating its backlog of cases, would intensify its efforts for prompt resolution of the disputes submitted to it, including through continuation of its practice of dealing with several cases concurrently in order to meet in a timely manner the expectations of the international parties appearing before it. He reiterated that the Court had successfully faced each new challenge posed by the complexity of legal relations between States and would keep rising to those challenges in order to fulfil its role as the principal UN judicial organ which would mark its seventieth anniversary in 2016.
