India drops Italian envoy order

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 02 April 2013 | 15.02

INDIA'S Supreme Court has cancelled an order passed last month during a diplomatic row with Italy, preventing its ambassador from leaving the country.

The court imposed the restriction on ambassador Daniele Mancini after Rome failed to return two Italian marines facing murder charges in New Delhi.

Mancini had signed an affidavit taking responsibility for their return after they had been allowed to travel back to Italy on bail.

The order caused concern that India could be in breach of international law which grants foreign envoys freedom of movement, but the impasse was resolved when Italy sent the marines back to face trial on March 22.

"We vacate our earlier order dated March 18," a three-judge bench in the Supreme Court announced on Tuesday.

It also asked the Indian attorney-general to report back to the court by April 16 on the setting up of a special court in New Delhi to try the marines, who face murder charges over the killing of two fishermen in February last year.

Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone were guarding an Italian oil tanker when they opened fire on a fishing boat, which they say they mistook for a pirate vessel.

Italy has insisted the pair should be prosecuted in their home country because the shootings involved an Italian-flagged vessel in international waters.

India says the killings took place in waters under its jurisdiction.
