Ddemand the dissolution of the ICJ if any decision is unfavourable to it (cf. UN Charter 1945, Article 94) (cf. UN Charter 1945, Article 94) (cf. UN Charter 1945, Article 94)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. COMPLY with the decision of the ICJ in any case to which it is a party; if a party fails to perform obligations under a judgment, the other party may have recourse to the Security Council
1. Article 94(1) UN Charter: 'Each Member of the United Nations undertakes to comply with the decision of the International Court of Justice in any case to which it is a party.' 2. Article 94(2): 'If any party to a case fails to perform the obligations incumbent upon it under a judgment rendered by the Court, the other party may have recourse to the Security Council, which may, if it deems necessary, make recommendations or decide upon measures to be taken to give effect to the judgment.' 3. Enforcement of ICJ judgments is thus politically routed via the Security Council, where P5 vetoes apply. 4. Hence option B is correct. _Source: UN Charter 1945 / Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties 1969 / ICJ Statute / ARSIWA 2001 — UN Charter 1945, Article 94_
