The Ministry of External Affairs is still processing the statement from Italy. On Monday evening, Italy made it clear that the two marines charged in India with killing two fishermen while on anti-piracy duty will not return from a special home visit granted to allow them to vote in last month's general election. The ministry said that India had not responded to Italian requests to seek a diplomatic solution to the case and there was now a formal dispute between the two countries over the terms of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea. In its Foreign Ministry's statement, Italy said that the Indian trial itself was illegal. The statement said, "Italy has always argued that the Indian authorities have violated their obligations under international law." India's MEA is yet to respond, saying simply that it would read the contents of Italy's missive "carefully". via Top Stories - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNEIp_OM4w9v7VbH7WGHx0iX2UJ4Ug&url=http://www.firstpost.com/india/live-italy-bluffed-and-betrayed-india-say-bjp-656508.html
