International Court of Justice (ICJ)
The ICJ is the world’s main legal body or organization. However, only about 33% of all UN member nations accept the power and decisions of the ICJ. The U.S. has not been a party to the ICJ for over 20 years. It does not bring its problems or conflicts to the ICJ and it does not recognize or follow the decisions of the ICJ. The ICJ has judges from all over the world and from all different forms of legal systems. Cultural problems sometimes arise, as a result.
