In the midst of the Cold War tensions of the 1980s, the US government supported Contra rebels in overthrowing the leftist Sandinista government, justifying this move through collective self-defense on the behalf of neighboring countries, which were allegedly threatened by the USSR-affiliated regime. Nicaragua brought the case before the court, claiming violations of the prohibition of the use of force and infringements on national sovereignty. Acting as judges, attorneys, and witnesses, delegates will represent both sides of this (in)famous dispute, with the verdict surely setting precedent for many cases to come. That is, if the American can see the case through to completion.
