world_organizations hard True/False

ICJ judgments in contentious cases are final and without appeal, and parties are obligated to comply with them; however, the Court has no direct enforcement mechanism, relying on the UN Security Council to take measures if a state fails to comply.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: True

Article 94 of the UN Charter provides that if a party fails to perform obligations under an ICJ judgment, the other party may have recourse to the Security Council, which may make recommendations or decide measures to give effect to the judgment. This political enforcement mechanism reflects the consensual nature of international adjudication.
