optional clause

 
     
  The name given to Article 36(2) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, under which any party to the Statute may, in relation to any other state accepting the same obligation, become subject to the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court. States are not on the whole very keen to do this. And such acceptances of the optional clause as have been made tend to be for a specific period of time, and to have reservations attached to them – which are sometimes far reaching. Thus the network of compulsory jurisdiction which exists is not extensive.
