On 13 December 1920, the League of Nations took a monumental step towards fostering international peace by establishing the Permanent Court of International Justice, now known as the International Court of Justice, in The Hague.
Tasked with resolving disputes between nations and offering advisory opinions on legal questions, the ICJ symbolised a pioneering effort to replace conflict with diplomacy and law.
This milestone underscored the global commitment to a rules-based order in the aftermath of World War I, laying the foundation for modern international jurisprudence.
