world_organizations hard True/False

The ICJ may request an advisory opinion from itself on legal questions referred by authorized UN organs or specialized agencies, providing authoritative interpretations of international law that guide UN activities and state practice.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

The ICJ does not request advisory opinions from itself; rather, authorized UN bodies (e.g., General Assembly, Security Council) or specialized agencies (with GA authorization) may request advisory opinions from the ICJ. These opinions, while non-binding, carry significant legal weight and influence the development of international law.
