The International Court of Justice was created in 1945 by the UN Charter. Unfortunately, the USA withdrew from ICJ jurisdiction in 1986*, and only accepts its involvement on a case-by-case basis.

Get the International Court of Justicemug. Some absolute mad house for kids with poor social skills. Foreigners are welcomed by the loving community of bullies and drug addicts that should help anyone feel right at home. Education is adequate and the real reason people go there is to enjoy the excellent learning support offered at no additional cost. Oh, but tuition is over 20k.

International Arman Month, or IAM for short, is a holiday that falls every year on the 14th of November, up until December 15th commemorating Armanpreet Singh of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, 53154. He is celebrated during this month long period with thoughts, gifts, and money. Nobody is allowed to ask Arman to do their ALEKS topics during this month as it is his break. Nobody is allowed to snitch on Arman and he gets food when he asks for it. National Arman Month or NAM was established in 2021 by Diella Bita and Jude Al Shamali, but has since changed to include global celebrators of the holiday.

It ranks among the top 10 busiest airports in the United States and is the largest airport in area in the country. It is a major hub for United Airlines and the operations base of United's low-cost subsidiary Ted. Frontier Airlines, one of the fastest growing discount airlines in the US also uses DIA as their main hub. The airport uses DEN as is its IATA airport code and KDEN as its ICAO airport code.
DIA replaced the old Stapleton International Airport in 1995, making it one of the youngest major airports in the US. It was built by the initiative of Denver mayor Federico Peña, but its construction ran into many problems.
Nowadays, the main complaint about the airport is its distant location from the city center, necessary to accommodate the airport's vast size (137km²). The airport also charges high landing fees to airlines in order to offset its hefty construction costs. Tickets to and from Denver are very expensive, lessening its appeal as a cross-country hub.
DIA has three midfield concourses. They are spaced far apart, and if the inter-terminal people mover system breaks down, it becomes difficult for passengers to board their flights on time, which has only happened once since the airport has been opened. The basic layout is very similar to Atlanta's airport, except that departures and arrivals are on different levels of the terminals.
During a major blizzard in 2003, the heavy snow tore a hole in the one of the terminal's characteristic white fabric roofs, which were designed to be reminiscent of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains in winter.
