The International Court of Justice is the only international court that adjudicates general disputes between countries and is a vital organ of the UN. Headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, the ICJ is composed of 15 judges elected to nine-year terms of office by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council. This unique committee will test your critical thinking and debating skills. For those aspiring to be a lawyer, this is your opportunity to shine.
Co-Chair
Is she ICJ’s co-chair, or is she spider-man? The world will never know. But for this conference, Arya Varma opts for the former. Currently a junior in high school, Arya spends most of her free time researching social justice moments and watching video essays about philosophy. An avid debater and MUNer, Arya is super excited to be co-chairing ICJ at ADMUN 2.4, and expects a (controversial) lively, productive and exciting conference! See you there, Good Luck and Godspeed!
Head Chair
Who some refer to as the 18 year old Mike Ross, with his photographic memory and prime chairing skills, ADMUN 24 proudly presents Manas Kathuria. After an odd 25 conferences in committees such as DISEC, HRC, and ECOFIN, he aims to explore the virtues of Law and Justice. Over the course of the 3 days at ADMUN, he expects Debate, Arguments, Diplomacy, and any of the other 147 things you can do without yielding time back to the Judge. “Litt” up the opposition and let your light shine.
Co-Chair
This chair has a unique chairing style that is different from all, hates marking position papers and loves motions to challenge. He loves cracking jokes, remember, the judges' jokes are always funny. “Anyone can do my job, but no one can be me.” - Suits, Harvey Specter, Season 5, Episode 8: "Mea Culpa".
