Procedure of the Court and history of the proceedings
The Registry has published an explanatory note on the Court’s website concerning the procedure followed by the ICJ with regard to requests for advisory opinions.
On 29 March 2023, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted resolution A/RES/77/276 in which, referring to Article 96 of the Charter of the United Nations and Article 65 of the Statute of the Court, it requested the Court to give an advisory opinion on the following questions:
“Having particular regard to the Charter of the United Nations, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change,
the Paris Agreement, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the duty of due diligence, the rights recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the principle of prevention of significant harm to the environment and the duty to protect and preserve the marine environment,
(a) What are the obligations of States under international law to ensure the protection of the climate system and other parts of the environment from anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases for States and for present and future generations;
(b) What are the legal consequences under these obligations for States where they, by their acts and omissions, have caused significant harm to the climate system and other parts of the environment, with respect to:
(i) States, including, in particular, small island developing States, which due to their geographical circumstances and level of development, are injured or specially affected by or are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change?
(ii) Peoples and individuals of the present and future generations affected by the adverse effects of climate change?”
By an Order dated 20 April 2023, the President of the Court decided that the United Nations and its Member States were likely to be able to furnish information on the questions submitted to the Court for an advisory opinion. The Court subsequently authorized, at their request, the participation in the proceedings of the International Union for Conservation of Nature; the Commission of Small
Island States on Climate Change and International Law; the European Union; the African Union; the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries; the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States; the Melanesian Spearhead Group; the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency; the Pacific Community; the Pacific Islands Forum; the Alliance of Small Island States; the Parties to the
Nauru Agreement Office; and the World Health Organization. The Court also authorized the Cook Islands and the State of Palestine, which are not Member States of the United Nations, to participate in the proceedings.
Ninety-one written statements and sixty-three written comments were filed in the Registry by States and international organizations.
Pursuant to Article 106 of the Rules of Court, the Court may decide to make the written statements, written comments and annexed documents accessible to the public on or after the opening of the oral proceedings in the case. Earlier press releases relating to these proceedings are available on the website.
Note: The Court’s press releases are prepared by its Registry for information purposes only and do not constitute official documents.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It was established by the United Nations Charter in June 1945 and began its activities in April 1946. The Court is composed of 15 judges elected for a nine-year term by the General Assembly and the Security Council of the United Nations. The seat of the Court is at the Peace Palace in The Hague
(Netherlands). The Court has a twofold role: first, to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States; and, second, to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized United Nations organs and agencies of the system.
