The ICJ is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, responsible for settling legal disputes between states and issuing advisory opinions on questions of international law. Unlike other committees, ICJ simulations mirror real courtroom procedures, requiring participants to present legal arguments, analyze treaties, and interpret case law. Reserved for law students at UDMUN 5.0, this committee demands strong legal reasoning, research, and advocacy skills.
