Summary/Abstract: The claim that President Donald J. TRUMP has decided to withdraw the United States of America from the International Court of Justice, which is thus bankrupt, is devoid of any factual basis or scientific merit, as a Member State of the United Nations is ipso facto a Party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which is a principal internal organ of that international organization. The claim that the Venice Commission is an international organization affiliated with the European Court of Human Rights is also devoid of any scientific merit, as it is in fact an internal subsidiary body of the international organization known as the Council of Europe, but one that is independent, including from the specialized internal judicial body for human rights matters within that regional European international organization.
