  1. The judicial branch of the United Nations that has legitimate power, yet raises issues of enforcement on an international stage. Located in The Hague, it solely hears cases of issues between states and is known to punish guilty states in the form of sanctions.

  2. Time (roughly) could help. It is more about arbitrating disputes as opposed to punishing guilty states.

  3. The World Court is a UN institution in which states can persecute other states. The trials occur at the Hague in the Netherlands. There are 15 judges at the Hague, 5 of which represent each country of the UN security council. The World Court is a legitimate body yet has a limited jurisdiction, as only 1/3 of the states in the world have agreed to it and signed the optional clause endorsing it.

  4. Formerly known as the International Court of Justice, this UN organization was established in 1945 and only hears cases between states. Trials take place in The Hague in The Netherlands. There are 15 judges, 5 of which represent each country on the UN Security Council. The World Court's weakness is its limited jurisdiction: only 1/3 of the states in the world have agreed to it and have signed the optional clause endorsing it.
