As part of fostering academic engagement and involving students in specialized scientific research and legal discourse, students Amir Ali Amir and Muhab Shams Al-Ma’arif organized a scientific seminar titled "The International Court of Justice (ICJ)".

The seminar was held under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Nouf Al-Jasmi, who inaugurated the session with a comprehensive legal introduction. She outlined the general framework governing the Court’s operations as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, effectively grounding the audience in the Court's pivotal role within the international system. Professor Dr. Wael Allam also participated, providing a foundational overview of the ICJ’s structure, composition, and procedural mechanisms.

To ensure a holistic view of international justice, the seminar was structured into two primary pillars:

• Pillar I: Contentious Jurisdiction

Presented by student Amir Ali Amir, this section focused on the Court's judicial authority to resolve disputes between states. The presentation featured a jurisprudential analysis of core articles from the ICJ Statute (notably Articles 34, 36, and 38), emphasizing the "Principle of Consent" as a fundamental prerequisite for jurisdiction. To bridge theory with practice, several landmark cases were examined:

The Phosphates in Morocco case: To illustrate temporal limitations on consent.

The Corfu Channel case: To clarify the concept of "forum prorogatum" (implied consent) and how the Court balances state sovereignty with international legal obligations.

• Pillar II: Advisory Jurisdiction

Presented by student Muhab Shams Al-Ma’arif, this segment explored the advisory and diplomatic facets of the Court's work.

The presentation identified the entities authorized to request advisory opinions—exclusively limited to UN organs and specialized agencies, excluding states and individuals. The discussion also clarified the legal weight of these opinions; although they are not legally binding in the contentious sense, they carry immense legal and moral authority, contributing significantly to the evolution of international law and guiding the conduct of international organizations.
