The Nobel Peace Prize laureate will hear allegations that Myanmar committed atrocities against Muslim Rohingya.
Thousands of Rohingya were killed and more than 700,000 fled to neighbouring Bangladesh during an army crackdown in the Buddhist-majority country in 2017.
Myanmar has always insisted it was tackling an extremist threat.
The case has been brought by the small African nation of The Gambia.
In the initial three-day hearing at the ICJ, it will ask the court to approve temporary measures to protect the Rohingya.
