Unfortunately the ICJ has no enforcement mechanism. The upshot is that the ICC does, and they're investigating the conflict as well.

The ICC is also not a UN body and, notably, lacks the membership of the most powerful geopolitical players (the USA, China, Russia, India) as well as much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
