India Can Get Damages, Can't Try Italy Marines: UN Forum
The Times of India Hyderabad|July 03, 2020
New Delhi: An arbitral tribunal set up under UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in the Italian marines case has unanimously upheld the conduct of Indian authorities “with respect to the incident” in which two Indian fishermen were allegedly killed by the marines off the Kerala coast in 2012. However, the 5-member tribunal also ruled, by 3 votes to 2, that Indian courts had no jurisdiction over the marines.

India Can Get Damages, Can't Try Italy Marines: UN Forum

The tribunal held unanimously though that the actions of the Italian military officers (in interfering with the movement of the vessel) breached India’s freedom of navigation under UNCLOS Articles 87 and 90, said the government in a statement.

While the tribunal decided that India was also entitled to compensation for the loss of lives, its ruling was a mixed bag as it simultaneously held that marines Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone enjoyed immunity which precluded Indian courts from exercising jurisdiction over them.
