Nicaragua v. United States | 1986 I.C.J. 14
The International Court of Justice is the primary judicial arm of the United Nations, or the UN, and exists to resolve legal disputes among UN member states. In 1986, the court issued one of its most consequential decisions, Military and Paramilitary Activities in and Against Nicaragua, also known as Nicaragua versus United States, addressing covert United States activities in Nicaragua.
In 1979, the Nicaraguan government of President Anastasio Somoza fell to a popular uprising led by the Sandinistas, who installed a new government. Almost immediately, armed resistance to this new government arose. The US abandoned its initial support of the Sandinista government when it learned that Nicaragua was supplying aid to Marxist guerillas in El Salvador. Thereafter, the US began covertly to channel money, weapons, and other support to the Nicaraguan opposition, known as the Contras. In 1983 and 1984, US military personnel mined Nicaraguan harbors and carried out attacks on Nicaraguan facilities.
In 1984, Nicaragua filed suit against the US in the International Court of Justice, claiming that the US had violated both the UN Charter and principles of customary international law. Nicaragua asked that the US be ordered to cease its operations in the country and pay reparations.

What was the holding of the International Court of Justice????Very relevant
Court found for Nicaragua. The US was too embarrassed to refused to enforce the judgment though.
One of the ruling: Decides that USA, by training, arming, equipping, financing and supplying the contra forces or otherwise encouraging, supporting and aiding military and paramilitary activities in and against Nicaragua, has acted, against the Republic of Nicaragua, in breach of its obligation under customary international law not to intervene in the affairs of another State
I reference this routinely because it perfectly encapsulates 1. UN being worthless and 2. USA being THE bad guy
Not many people see it this way. Sad...but Ukraine good Russia bad!
@@JOHNrandomlyVLOGS USA is bad, and Russia is also bad. Any agressor is bad and should be held accountable for their crimes
@@govement9151 i agree. put the biden crime family and zelenskyy on trial for their money laundering
@@JOHNrandomlyVLOGS Money laundering is not an international crime. It a domestic affairs of Ukraine. Only Ukraine has a right to judge Zelensky, as it written in their constitution. We can’t sue Zelensky in the international court because of his domestic crime, the Ukrainian criminal court decides that.
@@govement9151 so is only russia going to be tried for war crimes or ukraine also? because there's 100% proof they executed russian POWs
I was in Nicaragua during this war my parents said it was bad war sucks to many baby and kids die so sad glad my parents left that place in time
