India's candidate Dalveer Bhandari and Britain's Christopher Greenwood are seeking re-election at ICJ The Hague. As per the United Nation's ICJ election rules, candidates need to get absolute majority in both the General Assembly and the Security Council. That means 97 votes in the Assembly and eight votes in the Security Council are required to win the ICJ elections. In each of the five rounds of elections, Greenwood received nine votes and Bhandari got five in the UN Security Council. With the two countries in a deadlock over the one remaining ICJ seat, both the General Assembly and Security Council announced to adjourn the meeting for the election to be convened at a later date.
