Certain Phosphate Lands in Nauru (Nauru V. Australia), I.C.J., 1992
On 19 May 1989, Nauru filed an Application instituting proceedings against Australia in respect of a dispute over the rehabilitation of certain phosphate lands mined under Australian administration before Nauruan independence.
In its Application Nauru claimed that Australia had breached the trusteeship obligations it had accepted under Article 76 of the United Nations Charter and under the Trusteeship Agreement for Nauru of 1 November 1947.
On 9 September 1993, the Agents of Nauru and Australia notified the Court that, having reached a settlement, the two Parties had agreed to discontinue the proceedings.

Delimitation of the Maritime Boundary in the Gulf of Maine Area (Canada V. U.S.), I.C.J., 1984
Case concerning the Delimitation of the Maritime Boundary in the Gulf of Maine – the continental shelf and the exclusive fishing zone in it.
United States in 1976 drew a line with the consent of Canada. But the problem is that the shelf with the resources went to the USA, and the fishing zone to Canada.
"No maritime delimitation between States with opposite or adjacent coasts may be effected unilaterally by one of those States. Such delimitation must be sought and effected by means of an agreement, following negotiations conducted in good faith and with the genuine intention of achieving a positive result. Where, however, such agreement cannot be achieved, delimitation should be effected by recourse to a third party possessing the necessary competence.
"In either case delimitation is to be effected by the application of equitable criteria and by the use of practical methods capable of ensuring, with regard to the geographic configuration of the area and other relevant circumstances, an equitable result." (Para. 112.)

Elettronica Sicula s.P.A. (elsi) (u.S. V. Italy), 1989 I.C.J.
Raytheon-ELSI S.p.A. was an Italian company, 99% shares of which belonged to the U.S. Raytheon Company.
Due to financial problems the Americans closed the ELSI, despite the protest of the Italian authorities.
Italian forensic appropriated this factory, which violated Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation concluded between Italy and the United States (FCN Treaty). Americans turned to the ICJ.
Court decided:
Having thus found that the Respondent, Italy, had not violated the FCN Treaty in the manner asserted by the Applicant, it follows that the Chamber rejected the claim for reparation made by the Applicant.

Fisheries Case (u.K. V. Norway), 1951 I.C.J.
The Fisheries Case (United Kingdom v. Norway) was the culmination of a dispute, originating in 1933, over how large an area of water surrounding Norway was Norwegian waters (that Norway thus had exclusive fishing rights to) and how much was 'high seas' (that the UK could thus fish).
On 24 September 1949, the UK requested that the ICJ determine how far Norway's territorial claim extended to sea, and to award the UK damages in compensation for Norwegian interference with UK fishing vessels in the disputed waters, claiming that Norway's claim to such an extent of waters was against international law.
On 18 December 1951, the ICJ decided that Norway's claims to the waters were not inconsistent with international laws concerning the ownership of local sea-space.
