In a significant victory for India at the United Nations or the UN, international law expert Neeru Chadha has won a crucial election to a top UN judicial body that deals with disputes related to the law of the sea, becoming the first Indian woman to be appointed as a judge at the tribunal.

Italy today said it will battle hard to defend the two Italian marines, accused of killing two Indian fishermen in 2012, when their case comes up for hearing before a Germany-based international tribunal from August 10.

Italy said Friday it had initiated international arbitration proceedings in the case of two of its marines facing trial in India for the 2012 killing of two fishermen.

The presidents of Ghana and Ivory Coast on Monday held talks on a maritime dispute hanging over oil projects near their shared border, the two sides said in a joint statement released in Accra.
