International Court of Justice
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the world's primary judicial body, and it serves as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. This main UN body adjudicates legal disputes brought before it by states by international law. It also gives advisory opinions on legal issues referred to it by UN authorized organs and specialized agencies.
The Supreme Court is made up of 15 judges, selected by the General Assembly and the Security Council for terms of nine years.
At the same time, Gen Vountour has also established a general policy against racism, anti-Semitism, and any form of prejudice.
Courts and Tribunals
Several international courts, international tribunals, ad hoc tribunals, and UN-assisted tribunals, to varying degrees of connection to the United Nations (such as the tribunals for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and Lebanon's Special Tribunal), exist.
The United Nations Security Council established the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) on December 22, 2010, to carry out several essential functions of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), after their terms had expired. The Security Council is responsible for these.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), both established by UN conventions, have special cooperation agreements with one another.
What is International Law?
States are under a duty to comply with international law when it comes to their interactions and treatment of persons within its boundaries.
The field of international law concerns a wide range of issues that are of worldwide concern, such as human rights, disarmament, international crime, refugees, migration, nationality issues, the treatment of prisoners, the usage of force, and war conduct.
International law also governs the global commons, such as the environment and sustainable development, international seas, outer space, worldwide communications, and global trade.

The Security Council has the power to address situations that have international legal ramifications, such as peacekeeping missions, ad hoc tribunals, sanctions, and resolutions adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter.
The Security Council may refer certain situations to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court if it appears that international crimes (such as genocide, atrocities against humanity, war crimes, and aggression) have been committed.
THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The General Assembly may undertake studies and make recommendations to promote the development and codification of international law, as provided by the UN Charter. The plenary receives reports from several subsidiary bodies regarding a variety of regions of international law.
The Sixth Committee is responsible for reporting on international legal issues to the plenary. The General Assembly and the UN Commission on International Trade Law are two bodies that report to the General Assembly. The General Assembly considers issues relating to the UN's institutional law, such as adopting the Staff Regulations and establishing a system of internal justice.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY - SIXTH COMMITTEE (LEGAL)
The General Assembly's Sixth Committee is the body responsible for hearing and discussing legal issues in the General Assembly. All UN member states have the right to representation on the Sixth Committee, one of the main committees of the General Assembly.
Other UN agencies and bureaus
INTERNATIONAL LAW COMMISSION
The International Law Commission fosters the development of international law and its codification. The work of the Commission on a topic typically involves aspects of progressive growth as well as the codification of international law, with the balance between the two varyings depending on the issue.
THE COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW (UNCITRAL) AT THE UNITED NATIONS -> UNCTAD
The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law is a main body of the United Nations system in the field of international trade law, with worldwide membership and a specialty in commercial law, with an emphasis on modernizing and harmonizing legal norms relating to multinational business.

The United Nations' Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, better known as DOALOS, serves as the secretariat of the Convention on the Law of the Sea.
UN TREATY DATABASE
The Status of Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General's online database provides the most comprehensive information on the status of over 560 major multilateral instruments deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations and covers a wide range of subjects, including human rights such as Human Rights, Disarmament, Commodities, Refugees, the Environment, and the Law of the Sea. This database shows whether the instruments in question have been signed, ratified, accepted, or lodged objections to by the Member States.
THE INTERNAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AT THE UNITED NATIONS
A new Internal Justice System for the United Nations was established in 2009 to develop a system that was independent, professionalized, rapid, transparent, and decentralized, with an increased emphasis on resolving issues informally before turning to formal litigation. Because the United Nations is immune from local control and cannot be sued in a national court, an internal justice system has been established to handle staff-management disputes, including those that result in personnel discipline.
