Q.1315

Haven't heard of the Marshall Islands? It's a republic of islands in the North Pacific. In a surprising development in 2014, the country filed a suit in the International Court of Justice against nine countries: the US, India, France, UK, China, Pakistan, Russia, Israel, and North Korea.

This law suit says these countries were in "flagrant denial of human justice". What is common to these countries, and why is Marshall Islands taking this step?
