Explanation

International Court of Justice judges serve nine-year terms. The court has 15 judges total, but each serves for nine years.

Twelve, four, and five years are not the correct term lengths for ICJ judges.

Nine-year terms provide stability while allowing for regular renewal of the court’s composition.
