The United Nations is the foremost institution in the world for securing and maintaining international peace. It was created to protect nations, groups, and individuals from persecution and human rights abuses, and has undoubtedly made the world a better place. But what happens when states violate the norms of this world order? What happens to those who commit human rights violations and perpetrate war crimes? To these rogue states, the international community has only one message: “We’ll see you in court.” Housed in the Hague, for the last seventy-five years the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has served as the highest tribunal for the prosecution of an array of international offenses and brings together fifteen of the world’s foremost judges of international law.
