Washington, DC (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 23, 2009 -- The U.S. African Chamber of Commerce is seeking legal counsel against the United Nations and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in light of their alleged assisting of piracy along the coast of Somalia, and for the alleged dumping of chemical nuclear waste as well as massive illegal fishing, the group says.

The International Court of Justice acts as a world court. The Court has a dual jurisdiction, i.e., it decides, in accordance with international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States (jurisdiction in contentious cases); and it gives advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the organizations of the United Nations or specialized agencies authorized to make such a request (advisory jurisdiction).
