Can ICJ deliver climate justice to Global South?

The ICJ is hearing on this over December 2-13, and the focus would be on determining the obligation of developed-world States with respect to the climate crisis and the legal consequences of these obligations.
The origin of this case before the ICJ lies with a youth group from Vanuatu, called the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change. This organisation had taken up the matter with the government of Vanuatu, which, in turn, discussed it with a core group of countries and made a reference to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 2021; 132 countries in the UNGA co-sponsored the resolution, and the matter was referred to the ICJ in April 2023. The resolution relied upon other documents to bolster its case, for example, the UN Charter, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and of course, the Paris Agreement.
