ITLOS Says Italian Marines to Stay in India
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in Hamburg has ruled against Italy’s request for India to provisionally release two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen in February 2012 while on anti-piracy duty onboard the Italian oil tanker Enrica Lexie.
ITLOS also ordered both parties to stop all legal proceedings relating to the Enrica Lexie incident, saying that an international arbitration hearing in The Hague will rule on the dispute.
