Practice question
A public international organization with recognized international personality seeks to participate in a pending ICJ dispute. It is not a State. Its officers insist the only possibilities are full contentious-party status or complete inability to provide information. Which is correct under Article 34?
- International personality automatically satisfies the State-only rule
- No organization can ever send information
- Article 34 distinguishes State-only party status from an organization’s relevant-information role, defeating that binary claim.
- A corporate seal creates a State
- The organization may compel the Court to ignore its rules
