    ICJ rejects Marshall Islands suit against India
  • The International Court of Justice has struck down a law suit filed by the Marshall Islands against India, which sought to force India and other nuclear powers to disarm.

    The court accepted India's arguments that the case against India does not fall within the ICJ's jurisdiction, rejecting the Marshall Island's claim.

    The lawsuit was also directed against Britain and Pakistan.

  • Introduction

    The Marshall Islands

    The Marshall Islands
  • The Marshall Islands are officially known as the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

    It is an island country situated in the Pacific Ocean near the equator.

    Politically, it is a presidential republic in free association with America.

    It was passed to US by the UN in 1947 as "part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands established pursuant to Security Council Resolution 21."

    Credits:
  • During the initial years of Cold War from 1946-58, America tested "67 nuclear weapons at its Pacific Proving Grounds located in the Marshall Islands".

    The residents of the Islands lived in an exile after they were transferred for the first weapon tests in 1946.

    In 1978, residents ingested high levels of radiation from eating local food grown there and were displaced from the Islands.

    Intensity of tests done in Marshall Islands

  • The 15-megaton test that was carried in the Marshall Islands on 1 March 1954 was "1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima."

    These countries included Britain, China, France, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia and the United States.

    Marshall Islands said that by doing so, the countries breached their commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

    8 of 9 nations accept having nuclear weapons

  • 8 out of the 9 nations originally targeted in the Marshall Islands' lawsuits formally declared that they possessed a nuclear weapon (Israel never conceded to having one).

    The International Court of Justice announced different dates for separate hearings from 7-16 March for the cases.
