The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the United Nations' primary judicial organ (UN). The United Nations Charter established it in June 1945, and it began operations in April 1946. The Court's seat is at The Hague's Peace Palace (Netherlands). It is the only one of the United Nations' six main organs that is not based in New York. The Court's role is to resolve legal disputes submitted to it by States in accordance with international law, as well as to provide advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorised United Nations organs and specialised agencies. The Court is made up of 15 judges who are appointed by the UN for nine-year terms.
