About this quiz

What this quiz covers

International courts can look similar on the surface, but their mandates and powers vary sharply. This quiz helps you separate the ICJ’s state-to-state disputes, the ICC’s individual criminal accountability, and ITLOS’s law-of-the-sea jurisdiction.

Each question comes with 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through jurisdiction, admissibility, and enforcement without rushing.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll practice identifying which court can hear a dispute, what kind of parties can appear, and what legal instruments apply. You’ll also sharpen your ability to spot the difference between advisory opinions, contentious cases, and criminal prosecutions.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many players mix up the ICJ and ICC because of similar names, or assume all international rulings are automatically enforceable. Another frequent trap is confusing ITLOS with arbitration under UNCLOS Annex VII or assuming ITLOS handles all maritime disputes.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is balanced as mixed: you’ll see approachable definition-style items alongside deeper questions on jurisdictional limits, organs/chambers, and real-world outcomes. You can choose your question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session for quick review or full-length practice.
