(Video) Rajya Sabha TV (RSTV) The Big Picture: Italian Marines Case & International Law

Topic: Italian Marines Case & International Law

Guest:

  • Jitendra Nath Misra, (Former Ambassador)
  • Sheetal Sharma, (Assistant Professor, Centre for European Studies, JNU)
  • Abishek Jabaraj, (Supreme Court Advocate & International Law Expert)

Topic Description:

The central government has conveyed to the Supreme Court its decision to accept the international arbitration tribunal award, which ruled that Italy, not India, would try the Italian marines involved in the Enrica Lexie case. The court ruled that New Delhi could seek compensation for the deaths of the fishermen who were killed in the incident off the Kerala coast. Two Italian marines had opened fire on an Indian fishing boat in 2012 killing two crew members. The case had become a major bone of contention between the two countries with India insisting that it could try them as the incident occurred in its territorial waters. Italy contested this on the ground that the ship flew an Italian flag and hence the crew would be tried under the Italian law.
