Advisory opinions of the international court of justice dealing with human rights

International Court of Justice has not treated human rights as its main topic. In addition, in its nearly fifty years of activity, the International Court of Justice, has not had occasion to deal with questions of the treatment of aliens and human rights as did the Permanent Court of International Justice in its eighteen years of activity. However, the Court dealt with various categories of human rights. For example, there are property related issues, prohibition of discrimination, questions of 'affirmative action', different questions of criminal law and international humanitarian law. In this manner the attitudes of this Court has important role for everyone dealing with International Law of Human Rights.
