During the second year of the pandemic the International Court of Justice celebrated its seventy-fifth year. Just like the previous year, the Court dealt with three very diverse cases concerning economic sanctions and treaty of amity, violations of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) and maritime delimitation. Unsurprisingly, two out of three cases dealt with preliminary objections and only one was decided on the merits. A couple of newly instituted proceedings show clearly that states intend to keep the Court busy in the years to come.
