No, the problem is not solved.ICJ is applicable to the countries that recognize it not every country .
also as the ruling of the court imply first it is stablished that the USA trained and provide weapon to the contras during the conflict not before that , and they were non state actors that had no business receiving those weapons .
these are the countries that recognize ICJ
not Iran not Ukraine , not Russia, Not USA, . the problem here is solved
The idea that neutrality means exactly that -- neutrality -- is as old as warfare itself. All the Geneva Convention does is codified into a language that everyone can accept. By 'language', I do not mean English or French or whatever, I mean in terms and explanations that everyone understand. So just because some countries do not approve and consent to the GC, it does not mean those who agreed to it will not hold the GC against them if those who do not consent committed war crimes. The bottom line that no one wanted to admit is that if your country has an army, by default you are under the GC.
