The fact of the matter is that the ICJ cannot actually ensure state compliance. The ICJ simply determines whether or not any violation of a treaty between two or more nation states has been violated. The ICJ does not have any means of enforcing the law. In fact, international law is enforced primarily by the Security Council.

DIVERGENT VIEWS
Answer
Yes. A Supreme Court Justice is placed in office for life and no one can hold them accountable for the decisions they make. We have term limitations in the Executive Branch. Legislative branch members must be re-elected but the Supreme Court Judges are there for life.
Answer
Whether the Supreme Court is too powerful is always been a hot topic. However, take into consideration that the Court's job is to first and foremost interpret the constitution. If, as the person above suggests, we elect Justices, the interpretation of the constitution would become too political. The founders wanted to safeguard the Constitution and put in Justices for life terms.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court really only has power to the extent that the other 2 branches of government abide by its rulings. After all, the Supreme Court doesn't have an army or police force with which it can enforce its rulings. Of course, if Congress or the executive branch decided to flout a Supreme Court ruling, they would basically be saying that the constitution has become irrelevant, and then we'd have far bigger problems than an academic debate over the extent of the Supreme Court's power.
Answer
No.
It does the job it is set up to do, and that job only. The only way you could possibly decrease the power it has is by creating a further court above it. But the same thing happens: a higher court will always have more power than the lower court, so you could only shift the power to a different place, never take it away.
Moreover, that would lower the impact of justice, since someone could always appeal the decision regardless of how many courts had agreed on the verdict.

What is an independent judiciary?
Judicial independence is when a separation of the powers exists between the judicial branch of government and legislative and executive branches of government. The executive and legislative branches are unable to control or influence judges' decisions in any way and cannot have an impact upon their decisions or threaten to sack them if they make the 'wrong' decision. This should not be confused with judicial neutrality, which is when no member of government or the public is able to put pressure on judges to come to a decision which they would not normally reach, or otherwise upset the judge so that he/she cannot make up their minds with complete impartiality.
