These cases range from isolated attacks on planes or vessels to large-scale and ongoing military action. The issues of law and fact and the political contexts of these cases vary widely. However, the problems of justiciability and compulsory jurisdiction under Article 36(2) of the statute governing the Court are similar for these disputes and other disputes in which a potential respondent nation has strong reasons to resist adjudication. Thus, cases involving the use of force may be suitable for Court adjudication on the basis of individual nations' acceptances of Article 36(2) and the applicable clauses in treaties. However, the United States and other nations should exclude cases involving national security, vital issues, or political questions from Court adjudication. In addition, a future acceptance of compulsory adjudication by the United States might reasonably include a carefully drafted exclusion of disputes relating to major ongoing hostilities, although past major conflicts should not necessarily be excluded.
