Law has been a binding force for our society throughout the history. It had a very important role in regularizing our society. In every society of this planet we can find the existence of different laws. Though the approach may have been different because of the different socio cultural contexts existed in different societies. As the societies become more complex, the laws also become more complex and verbose. In today’s world when the different countries are working closely with each other it has become very important to have uniformity in laws of different countries. The International Court of Justice is working to fulfill this gap. The International Court of Justice is a part of UNO and the headquarter of this organization is situated in Hague, Netherlands. The International Court of Justice consists of 15 judges elected by the Security Council and the General Assembly for a term of nine years. Each one of them has to be from a different country. The court gives advisory opinion on legal matters to the organs and special agencies of the UNO when solicited. It also considers legal disputes brought before it by nations.

As there are different inhuman and unlawful activities done everyday against the human beings of different nations, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights was set up under the UN Charter in 1945. The commission was asked in 1946 to prepare an international bill of rights. By 1947, the Commission had decided that a Universal Declaration of Human Rights was needed first, to be followed by one or more human rights treaties (covenants), which would be legally binding on the nations that signed them.  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the General assembly of the UN on December 10, 1948 as ‘a common standard of achievement for all people and nations’. This day is celebrated every year as the ‘Human Rights day’ all over the world. It took the UN a further 18 years to produce two treaties on human rights. On December, 1966 the ‘Covenant on Civil and Political Rights’( liberty oriented) and the ‘Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’( Security oriented) were voted upon and adopted by the UN General Assembly. The universal declaration and the two covenants make up the ‘International Bill of Rights”.
