The International Court of Justice and Global Peacebuilding examines the role of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations in promoting peace and stability through the peaceful resolution of disputes between states. It explores how the Court settles legal conflicts, provides advisory opinions on international issues, and upholds principles of international law, thereby reducing the likelihood of conflict and fostering diplomatic solutions. The topic highlights the importance of legal mechanisms in maintaining global order and supporting peaceful coexistence among nations. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand the structure and functions of the ICJ, analyze its role in resolving international disputes, evaluate its contribution to global peacebuilding, and develop critical skills in assessing the effectiveness of judicial approaches in addressing international conflicts.
