Huge India Win, Its Judge Dalveer Bhandari Is Re-Elected At World Court (ICJ): 10 Points

[oOo]

And guess what?
All four permanent members (US/France/Russia/China) rallied in favor of Britain and NOT India!

So much for Indo/Russian friendship?
Lol

This Idiot can guess even the secret voting.

this clearly show the strength india possesses in GA that would act as catalyst of its induction in to sc .. this would make it way in SC fast

What glasses are you wearing? India was totally outmaneuvered by Britain while being on disadvantage. It clearly shows the opposite. India should have baited Britain to use Veto powers and in turn earn the ire of General Assembly. But Britain acted pragmatically and let go of a worthless(to Britain) ICJ seat to maintain its(other P5) grip in SC. India just got the cookie while Britain left with whole jar. India will probably have to wait at least 1.5 decade to even have a realistic chance to be in SC.

Not necessarily..

Britain just delayed their schedule exit by abiding to UN assembly.

At some point most countries will like yo see sc refurbished..
First possible exit is for Britain. Most likely EU will replace France

Britain don't have any importance in international arena now.
They should step aside with dignity

Delayed by maybe what decade and a half or more. How long can anybody wait? "Eventually" is a very uncertain word.

Nothing much. Either Judge Bhandari would stay away from the case. Or there will be an ad-hoc judge from Pakistan for that matter.

Also, mind that one judge cannot change the ruling unless there is a stalemate between other judges.

your comment shows Indians are dishonest people and their judge is a biased person.

Just wanted to bring in your notice if I may - Contempt of ICJ indirectly mean contempt of UN and international forums. Just give it a thought, will that impact your raising of Kashmir in UN and seeking international deliberations?

we don't need ICJ on Kashmir issue.
we already have UN security council resolutions on that matter.

your comment shows Indians are dishonest people and their judge is a biased person.

And neither of us represent the entire Indians nor Pakistanis. Opinions are largely divided. Lastly, you have comprehension issue, I never said there would be a decision change if Indian judge came in. And I'm biased towards my country men. Why shouldn't I? I'm not a judge.

Request you to read again my post to understand the context. I am saying that if you do not respect the ICJ verdict in case it goes against you, how can you assert your stand in UNSC then? But are extension of UN only.

Sure, he has already been sentenced to death.

India has said that if his abducted citizen is hanged, it will be considered as Murder. Be ready for consequences.

Former Supreme Court judge Dalveer Bhandari has the support of nearly two-thirds UN members





Story Highlights

• Dalveer Bhandari, 70, is a former Supreme Court judge
• UK's Christopher Greenwood has served one nine-year term in the ICJ
• 12th round of voting tonight for last seat in the World Court

New Delhi: India's Dalveer Bhandari has been elected to the International Court of Justice after Britain pulled its candidate Christopher Greenwood after a hard-fought race. Voting for the last seat was held in the World Court earlier tonight. It will be the first time since the ICJ was established in 1945 that there will be no British judge.

Here is your 10-point-guide to the ICJ elections:

1. 
   
   
   • One-third of the ICJ's 15-member bench is elected every three years for a nine-year term. Elections are held separately but simultaneously in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the UN Security Council in New York.
   • On November 9, the UNGA and Security Council members had elected judges to four of the five seats up for re-election this year, with the fate of the candidates from India and Britain hanging in the balance.
   • To win an ICJ election, a candidate needs to get a majority in both the General Assembly and the Security Council, which has not happened in this case in the 11 rounds of voting so far.
   • Former Supreme Court judge Dalveer Bhandari, 70, has the support of nearly two-thirds of the 193 UN members. Christopher Greenwood, who has already served one nine-year term in the ICJ, is trailing behind by more than 50 votes in the General Assembly. However, he has been leading Mr Bhandari nine against five in the Security Council.
   • In all previous such contests, the candidate who got a majority in the General Assembly was eventually elected. Britain is seen to be aggressively pushing in the 15-member UN Security Council, of which India is currently not a member, for resorting to the joint conference mechanism, against which there exists an unequivocal legal opinion, sources said.
   • A joint conference would mean picking three countries each from the the UNGA and the UNSC, which will meet and choose a candidate. The UNGA and Security Council would then vote on that name.
   • Britain has argued that there is a deadlock and has reportedly proposed that voting in the Security Council be stopped, which would mean that the UNGA would also have to stop voting. Britain needs nine votes for voting to be stopped and hopes that the nine Security Council members supporting its candidate so far, will agree.
   • Critics have described Britain's move as "dirty politics" which has sent a sense of "uneasiness" among other members of the powerful UN Security Council, many of who are aware of the long-term implications of a move to ignore the voice of the majority of the United Nations General Assembly.
   • "Those who talk of bringing the UN and updating it to the 21st Century world cannot look back to the toolkit of 100 years ago and try to take out a tool which has never been used in the history of the UN and perhaps for valid reasons," Syed Akbaruddin, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, told diplomats at the UN headquarters, where more than 160 diplomats attended a reception for Judge Bhandari, reflecting the majority India enjoys in the General Assembly.
   • The joint conference mechanism has never been used in the entire history of seven decades of the ICJ, sources said. The only time it was used was before the establishment of the UN in 1921, when Deputy Judges for the Permanent Court of International Justice were selected.
