analysis: The text appears to be related to the International Court of Justice, a judicial organ of the United Nations. It provides information on the composition of the Court, its jurisdiction, and the procedures followed. The text does not mention specific economic, environmental, or social issues, but rather focuses on the Court's structure and functions. However, some of the cases mentioned, such as the Continental Shelf dispute, may have implications for natural resources and the environment.
