Solution

The correct option is C International Court of Justice
Despite a surge in the number of international disputes, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has failed to resolve them. The ICJ has been perceived as an ineffective player in achieving international peace and security. Its flawed jurisdictional architecture is entirely based on consent. Its recent judgements have failed to achieve the desired outcomes. Many scholars consider the ICJ as inept to handle major issues like environmental degredation, terrorism, and human trafficking. The effectiveness of multilateral institutions like the ICJ is critical for global survival and progress in the 21st century.
