After seven years in the making, opening arguments in a landmark climate case over a Pacific island nation's survival are set to be heard by justices at the United Nations' only court for settling disputes among countries.
The case before the International Court of Justice, which opened on Monday, is led by law students fighting climate change, along with other legal experts, Vanuatu government officials, and the Melanesian Spearhead Group, an international organization with four island nation members.
