Publication date2024-11-05
Abstract

The period 1 August 2022–July 2023 is characterized by an intense activity. The International Court of Justice’s docket has never been so full, and the trend is clearly upwards. Four judgments were issued, the International Court of Justice ruled on four applications for provisional measures, and numerous hearings were conducted. The judgments were very different in scope and subject matter: law of international watercourses was at the heart of Chile v. Colombia, interpretation of treaties in Iran v. United States, the “Monetary Gold” principle in Guyana v. Venezuela, and the existence of customary international law in Nicaragua v. Colombia.
