Q.1 Case study 1: Suman is a senior Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer working under the Ministry of External Affairs in Delhi. The ministry has organized an BRICS summit which is an annual event for every year. Like every year, this year also, many foreign delegates from different BRICS Country have confirmed their participation in the event. The event is important for India’s economic growth and diplomacy in many contexts. But two countries are at war and one of them is a member of BRICS initiative. The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for the president of that country to arrest him, stating that there’s reason to believe that he “bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of the victim country to his country, in prejudice of the victim country’s children.” However, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested India to arrest and give them one of the BRICS participants as he is prosecuted by ICC for war crimes and genocide in his country. India is not a signatory to ICC and as such is not bounded by the decisions of ICC. However, India has always criticized such crimes and has always been a good, moral state. Suman has been asked to prepare the answer to be given to ICC in regard to their request. Q1- Analyse the situation and explain, with reasons, what answer Suman should give to ICC in this regards? Q2. Also discuss the ethical issues involved in the given situation? (20 Marks, 250 words) additional
