No, but many treaties have dispute mechanisms that function somewhat like a court where you have legal filings. That's how we have the south africa vs israel genocide thing. Both countries signed a treaty that had a clause in it saying the ICJ can decide any disputes about this treaty.
More generally, part of the envisioned role of the ICJ is that it could be a court system where countries can go to solve any disputes about how to interpret any treaty (however the rules are both parties have to consent, which means in practise it rarely happens)
