Let's Go to Court

Time to get to know the International Court of Justice from the inside!Go to theInternational Court of Justicewebsite.In the navigation bar just below the title and court logo, hover over theCasessection and click onContentious cases organized by incidental proceedings.This will take you to a list of cases the court has presided over, grouped by type of case.

As you read in the unit, the International Court of Justice works with issues at a national level and doesn't preside over commercial cases, but their decisions can impact how business is done in a country.

Scan through the case names, until you find one that sounds like it may have an impact on business.For example, there is a case in 2018 titledObligation to Negotiate Access to the Pacific Ocean (Bolivia v.Chile); using geographical knowledge, we could assume that this decision impacts Bolivian businesses as Bolivia is landlocked and is likely seeking access to a better, or cheaper trade route.Click on your chosen case title to read more about the case.There should be an overview of the case, as well as any other documents and press releases related to that case.

Once you have identified a case that has a clear impact on global business, read through all documentation on the International Court of Justice site to clearly understand the matter.You may need to do little additional research of key terms or parties to better understand the issue, but your focus should mainly be on the documented proceedings of the court.
