Permanent Court of International Justice 

an international court established by the League of Nations at The Hague pursuant to article 14 of the covenant of the League and to an agreement of Dec. 16, 1920. The court functioned from 1921 to February 1940 and was officially dissolved in January 1946.

The Permanent Court was established to resolve international disputes by judicial means. It had 11, later 15, judges, elected by the League’s Council and Assembly for terms of nine years. The court had jurisdiction over cases voluntarily submitted by disputing nations, as well as over disputes subject to its review according to treaties and conventions in force.

The Permanent Court also gave advisory opinions on disputes referred to it by the League’s Council and Assembly. The court did not play an important role in resolving international disputes: during its existence it reviewed only 37 disputes and offered 28 advisory opinions. The USSR was not a party to the court’s statute.
