International Court of Justice (ICJ)
The ICJ tackles subjects from "what is the legal obligation of countries for their emissions propelling climate change" to "how do you interpret the legitimacy of treaties and war?" The world is rapidly heating up, but what can the law truly say about this? What responsibility do larger nations bear for their carbon emissions? How can smaller countries being affected by this express their voice in the biggest court of them all: the ICJ? In the case of war, how does the ICJ interpret treaties, and to what extent does the advisory opinion even matter?
Topic A: Costs, Consequences, and Climate Change: Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change (The Advisory Opinion of 23 July 2025)
Topic B: Reading Between the Lines: Treaty Application in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine v. Russian Federation, 2024)
