Icj Advisory Opinion Overview

Summary

An advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a non-binding legal opinion requested by the United Nations or its specialized agencies.

While it provides legal guidance on international law questions, it is not enforceable. These opinions help clarify legal issues and guide international relations, but they do not have the same authority as a court judgment.
