It is given a mandate of settling international disputes by the UN Charter. Disputes must be brought to the court by states. the Caucus conflict falls in that category if one may say. However, it is worth noting that the court makes its decisions upon evidence brought to it by the parties. it means therefore that a party may bring a claim to the ICJ and lack evidence to prove its claim then it will automatically be quashed. International law has its restriction also. So lets have some trust in the court and it will deliver,whether an opinion or a judgment with all fairness and practicability as possible.

Is there a legal aspect to this?

More importantly, I think it’s easy to make out that there will be no use of settling this matter in front of the ICJ. It will clearly be the same situation as that of the NATO-Yugoslavia case. Even if a judgment is passed, how useful will that be? The SC can hardly budge an inch.
