Criticisms
The
International Court has been criticized with respect to its rulings, its
procedures, and its authority. As with criticisms of the United Nations, many of these
criticisms refer more to the general authority assigned to the body by member
states through its charter than to specific problems with the composition of
judges or their rulings. Major criticisms include the following:
"Compulsory"
jurisdiction is limited to cases where both parties have agreed to submit to
its decision, and so instances of aggression tend to be automatically escalated
to and adjudicated by the Security Council. According to the sovereignty
principle of international law, no nation is superior or inferior against
another. Therefore, there is no entity that could force the states into
practice of the law or punish the states in case any violation of international
law occurs. Therefore, the absence of binding force means that the 193 member
states of the ICJ do not necessarily have to accept the jurisdiction. Moreover,
membership in the UN and ICJ does not give the court automatic jurisdiction
over the member states, but it is the consent of each state to follow the
jurisdiction that matters.
Organizations,
private enterprises, and individuals cannot have their cases taken to the
International Court or appeal a national supreme court's ruling. UN agencies
likewise cannot bring up a case except in advisory opinions (a process
initiated by the court and non-binding). Only states can bring the cases and
become the defendants of the cases. This also means that the potential victims
of crimes against humanity, such as minor ethnic groups or indigenous peoples,
may not have appropriate backing by a state.
Other
existing international thematic courts, such as the ICC, are not under the umbrella of the
International Court. Unlike ICJ, international thematic courts like ICC work
independently from United Nations. Such dualistic structure between various
international courts sometimes makes it hard for the courts to engage in
effective and collective jurisdiction.
The
International Court does not enjoy a full separation of powers, with permanent members of the Security
Council being able to veto enforcement of cases, even those to which they
consented to be bound.[33] Because
the jurisdiction does not have binding force itself, in many cases, the
instances of aggression are adjudicated by Security Council by adopting a
resolution, etc. There is, therefore, a likelihood for the permanent member
states of Security Council to avoid the responsibility brought up by International
Court of Justice, as shown in the example of Nicaragua v. United States.
