The judge must be born in the country their representing and citizenship and a fair knowledge of international law and at least 5 years worth of experience. During a case, their is only one judge and a small jury. The reason for the 3 judges is so that the cases remained unbias, such as a judge from Italy deciding a case between Japan and America instead of the American judge.
