MARSHAL ISLANDS CASES BEFORE INTERNATIONAL COURT

Dear Sir,

LECTURE AT ISIL BY AMB/PROF--- GUDMUNDUR EIRICKSSON+++ICE LAND/ JINDAL UNIVERSITY¬¬¬¬¬JURISDICTION & ADMISSIBILITY ISSUES--'''' MARSHAL ISLANDS CASES BEFORE INTERNATIONAL COURT 

1. First it is to thank you for your kind invite to Lecture on Legal Challenge posed by Marshal Islands in International Court of Justice, which was followed as usual by High Tea.

2.Lecture by Prof Eirickson was salient for India to reckon with. He has been Iceland Ambassador to India and is now teaching at Jindal Law College. He is an Engineer + Law and much more.
It was a very clever and subtle Lecture to influence the young minds from his Class plus local Law Students.

3. His outline was very clear to brainwash Indian mind to accept the verdict of ICJ.

Introduction [ Background--NPT & Nuclear Weapons Advisory Opinion] ++++Preliminary Remarks++++Submission and Arguments of the Parties++++Conclusion.

4. Please recall Bipartisan US Domestic Commitment which was tackled by Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barak Obama, with different tactics. US was surprised by Nuclear Explosion by Atal Bihari Vajpaie!!!! To cap Indian Nuclear Weapon Programme and roll it back. This domestic aim has not changed. To conclude Civil Nuclear Energy Programme, the Weapon Count and military Plants were limited to tackle India's Nuclear Weapon Friends--Pakistan and China. China has already overshadowed India's limit by increasing Pakistan Nuclear Weapon Capacity plus added Tactical Nuclear weapons to nullify India's 2X Cold Front Start Doctrine.
Plus India's Civil Nuclear Programme is being delayed on one account or the other and India is being held responsible.

5. So Marshal Islands Claims have been raised in ICJ in a very contrived way.
There are 9 Nuclear Weapon States--P5+ India+Paksitan+N Korea+???? ===6 States including China do not accept Jurisdiction ICJ Jurisdiction. That leaves UK+India+Pakistan. UK is a signatory to NPT, India is compliant without acceding to it. Pakistan will not India signs.
It is common knowledge that S Korea is one week away, Japan is 6 months away if America gives permission. Israel is its own jurisdiction. Iran and Syria have been disabled. S Arabia is a Nuclear Power by Proxy.

So India remains the number one Target of P 5 and to achieve that they would do what ever it takes.
6. Marshal Islands and other Polynesian Islands took 1.2 Billion US Dollars from France and another 750 Million Dollars from US for conducting nuclear Tests in their waters.
7. The Proxy Case rests on three Pillars---
>>>Laws of the Seas-UNLAWS
>>>Environment/Climate Change
>>>Common Law
All 3 have no connection as such but India must sign NPT.
Ingenious!!!! This is a Left Hook to divided India. One never knows a corrupt and divided India would fall or fail!!!

8. India and Pakistan have more or less same approach. Their stand -- it is for Self Defence and belongs to Domestic Arena over which ICJ has no Jurisdiction.
Now the big Nuclear Weapons would keep at India from all Directions including FDI, Technology Transfer, Concluding pending Agreement with Pentagon for which Defence Secretary is coming 10 April for Defence Cooperation.

9. Russia's and America's Major number of Nuclear Tipped Missiles are locked against each other which have to overfly Iceland and Greenland so why these two countries are not asking US and Russia to disarm totally. India was also blackmailed to stop 1971 War with Nuclear Threat when both Soviet Union and US forced India to stop in its Tracks on West Pakistan Front.

10. Why Australia is shying off from accepting Climate Change Refugees from Ocean Island Countries when EU is taking 2 Millions Refugees. Why India which would have to resettle nearly 2 Million of its own Coastal Refugees ++ Bangladesh ++ Sri Lanka ++ Maldives, would keep coming. Should India stop developing and alleviating poverty, etc. To add to this West is unwilling to fund Climate Change Refugee Fund when it is primarily due their over consumption causing Global Warming.

11. Following Edwina Mountbatten's lead in 1948 advising Panditji to take the Kashmir to UNO, Prof Gudmunur advised India to go through ICJ proceedings-India would win and world would celebrate this International Rule of law. Hopefully, Indian Leadership does not fall into this clever Trap again!!!!
With best regards,
Commander Prem P Batra Retired
