World Court - definition of World Court in Encyclopedia (844 words)
The International Court of Justice (known colloquially as the World Court) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.
This court is different from the International Criminal Court and the War Crimes Law (Belgium) both of which have been confused with the International Court of Justice.
In a split decision, the majority of the Court ruled the United States was "in breach of its obligation under customary international law not to use force against another state" and ordered the US pay reparations (see note 2), although it never did.
