Review Legal Authorities

The ICJ's first challenge in this case was to determine the scope of its own power to hear Bosnia's different claims. Bosnia not only invoked the Genocide Convention but also asked the court to find illegal the arms embargo imposed by the U.N. Security Council.

Advocates for each side presented legal arguments that supported their position. In order to decide the contested issues you must understand the competing arguments.
