Call for ICJ To Examine GHG Damage

During the UN/GA general debate, Palau's President Johnson Toribiong announced that his Government, as well as that of the Marshall Islands has called upon the UN/GA to seek, on an urgent basis, an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the responsibilities of States under international law to ensure that activities carried out under their jurisdiction of control that emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) do not damage other States.
