New Delhi: India will challenge Italy’s decision to take the issue of two of its marines, accused of killing two Indian fishermen three years ago, to an international tribunal which will hear it on August 10-11 in Hamburg, Germany.
A team, comprising Additional Solicitor General P L Narasimha, officials from the Ministries of External Affairs and Home, would be leaving for Germany soon to represent India’s case at the International Tribunal on Law of the Sea.
“We will challenge Italy’s decision to take the matter to the international tribunal. The crime had taken place in Indian waters so the international tribunal has no role to play in it,” a Home Ministry official said.
