INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE

Non-Traditional | Specialized | Single Delegate

After decades of a short but violent war that claimed the lives of hundreds of Argentine and British military personnel, and amidst the continuing dispute over the ownership of the Falkland Islands, both Argentina and the United Kingdom have agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice to resolve the true ownership of these islands. As a delegate in this committee, it will be up to you to use international law, treaties, and other relevant evidence to further the argument of the country you are representing in this case. Argentina's and the United Kingdom's objective for using the ICJ to resolve this dispute is to ensure that this process is as peaceful as possible, preventing a recurrence of the events of 1982. Delegates who can employ diplomacy, formulate arguments based on existing international law, and possess strong analytical skills will find the most success in this committee. Are you ready to help bring a peaceful resolution to this decades-long contentious dispute?
