The end of Word War II and in 1945, the United Nations Organization has formally established by50 countries as signatories of the Charter. Having 192 member states in 2006 of almost all countries of the world, the Organization is considered as the largest international organization. Many organizations and bodies are active under the supervision of the United Nations. Among the principal organs, the strongest one is the Security Council that includes five permanent members who enjoy veto power in the Council’s making decisions. Enlargement of member states and activities of the United Nations and the plurality of its subsidiary international institutions and organizations, which include most parts and activities of the countries in vast fields, make it necessary to review the framework and performance of this Organization more than ever. The author of the present article tries to study the status of the principal organs in the framework of the United Nations Charter.

In the present study the structure, some considerations on the respective rolls of the security council and the internationalcourt of justice with respect to the “The revention of aggravation of disputes” in the domain of the pacific settlementof international disputes or situations, according to the United Nations charter through comparing their functions and functionalities. Special focus is on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as the sole United Nations judicial institution that carries not only the responsibility of peaceful resolution of international disputes between states and other subjects of international law but also has contributed to the expansion of international law. ICJ has a responsibility to supervise other organs of the United Nations but has failed to observe the resolutions of the Security Council despite the freedoms it enjoys to do so. The authority of the Security Council is still derived from the will of powers, not the international law which has resulted in silence and inaction of the ICJ with regard to the decisions of the Security Council in the cases of Lockerbie, Namibia, Bosnia and Herzegovinian and Montenegro; all out of political considerations. The study ends with a conclusion and a set of recommendations to minimize the adverse effects of the discussed contradictions including legal observations supported by some international principles and procedures as well as acceptance of the superiority of the decisions of the ICJ over decisions of other main UN bodies particularly the Security Council.
