This paper seeks to examine the contribution made by Sri Lankan judge C.G Weeramantry in International Court of Justice during his tenure as a judge from a perspective of Global South. Contrary to the political realism which appeared to be a predominant factor in ICJ, Judge Weeramantry made a great contribution in making a voice for third world countries. In particular, the universalist approach he maintained while delivering his judgements and advisory opinions at International Court of Justice aptly indicated the need for a fair space in international law. This paper will demonstrate the overarching significance of Judge Weeramantry’s jurisprudence in several chosen ICJ cases and advisory opinions as the alternative voice in a place where international law was dominated by power politics.
