Explanation:

• The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. Its jurisdiction is mainly between states.
• Option a: Under Article 59 of the ICJ Statute, decisions of the ICJ are binding only on the parties to the case. This is a correct statement.
• Option b: The ICJ generally does not allow individuals to sue states. Its jurisdiction is primarily between states.
• Option c: There is no such process called "fiat lux" for the ICJ to accept a case. The basis of the ICJ's jurisdiction is usually consent (such as through treaties, declarations recognizing compulsory jurisdiction).
• Option d: States may sue other states before the ICJ. This is in line with the ICJ's role as a court for inter - state disputes.

Answer:

A. all decisions are binding on parties to a case; D. states may sue states.
