The International Court of Justice does not have criminal jurisdiction to prosecute individuals. A civil hearing deals mainly with disagreements between States. The ICJ is the main part of the United Nations, whereas the ICC is independent of the UN. Why is the International Court of Justice the main part of the United Nations?

In 2002, The International Criminal Court, building was finally established. It is the world’s first permanent, international judicial body capable of bringing perpetrators to justice and providing compensation to victims when no national court is willing or able to do so. In addition, the ICC only tries those accused of the gravest crimes. The ICC ensures that those who commit serious human rights violations are held accountable.
