Which of the following statements about the International Court of Justice is/are correct? 1. The Court consists of members, wherein two members cannot be nationals of the same State. 2. The General Assembly and the Security Council proceed independently of one another to elect the members of the Court.

Both statements are correct. Under the Statute of the International Court of Justice (Articles 3 and 9), no two judges of the ICJ may be nationals of the same State. The Court has 15 judges, and they are elected by the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council, both of which vote independently and simultaneously; a candidate must receive an absolute majority in BOTH bodies to be elected, with no veto applicable in the Security Council for this purpose.
