Summary/Abstract: The UN International Court of Justice, the successor to the Permanent Court of International Justice (ICPM), is a permanent jurisdiction and the chief judicial authority of the United Nations. The UN International Court of Justice is established by the UN Charter signed on June 26, 1945. In the spirit of historical legacy, the seat of the UN International Court of Justice is located in The Hague, the Netherlands, similar to that of its predecessor, the first judicial body of international law. The official languages of the permanent court are French and English. The UN International Court of Justice is operating in accordance with the Statute (adopted in conjunction with the UN Charter and an integral part of it) and the Rules of Procedure (adopted in 1978 and regulating, in particular, the organization and functioning of the Court). The jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice is referred to in Article 36 of the Charter of the United Nations and, in general, it is the authority of the Court to deal with the case and to give a binding ruling on it. The current work aims to trace how it is formed, what is the ICC's court panel and what is the internal organization of the UN chief judicial body.
