Rights of Nationals of the United States of America in Morocco (France V. United States of America), 1952 I.C.J.

The method of assessing the value of goods, imported into Morocco (under Article 95 of the General Act of Algeciras of 1906).

Sovereignty over Pedra Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh, Middle Rocks and South Ledge (Malaysia V. Singapore) 2008 I.C.J.
The Pedra Branca dispute was a territorial dispute between Singapore and Malaysia over several islets at the eastern entrance to the Singapore Strait, namely Pedra Branca, Middle Rocks and South Ledge.
The dispute began in 1979 and was largely resolved by the ICJ in 2008, which opined that Pedra Branca belonged to Singapore and Middle Rocks belonged to Malaysia.
On 23 May 2008, the Court ruled that Pedra Branca is under Singapore's sovereignty, while Middle Rocks belongs to Malaysia. As regards South Ledge, the Court noted that it falls within the apparently overlapping territorial waters generated by mainland Malaysia, Pedra Branca and Middle Rocks. As it is a maritime feature visible only at low tide, it belongs to the state in the territorial waters of which it is located.
Malaysia and Singapore have established what they have named the Joint Technical Committee to delimit the maritime boundary in the area around Pedra Branca and Middle Rocks, and to determine the ownership of South Ledge.

Temple of Preah Vihear (Cambodia V. Thailand), Preliminary Objections, 1961 I.C.J.
The territory of the Temple of Preah Vihear, a religious and cultural center for both Thailand and Cambodia, has long been disputed by the two nations due to its location near their shared border.
In 1962, the ICJ held that the Temple was situated within Cambodian territory and subject to Cambodian sovereignty.
In addition, the ICJ ruled that Thailand was obliged to "withdraw any military or police forces, or other guards or keepers, stationed by her at the Temple, or in its vicinity on Cambodian territory."
Cambodia asked the ICJ to hold that the Temple region belonged to Cambodia, while Thailand insisted that only the Temple itself was under Cambodian sovereignty, that there was no dispute, and thus, that the ICJ did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. 7 In addition, Cambodia requested that Thailand be ordered to withdraw all military and police forces from claimed Cambodian territory.
Cambodia also asked the ICJ to order provisional measures pending the final judgment requiring Thai forces to withdraw from the Temple and its surrounding area, to cease all military activity in the area, and to refrain from interfering with Cambodian rights or aggravating the current dispute.
The International Court of Justice held that, pending the final judgment, provisional measures were warranted and ordered both Cambodian and Thai forces to withdraw from both the Temple region and a significant portion of undisputed Cambodian territory to create a large demilitarized zone.
