Parliament and International Treaties
Question
The Parliament can make any law for whole or any part of India for implementing international treaties (a) with the consent of all the States (b) with the consent of the majority of States (c) with the consent of the States concerned (d) without the consent of any State
Options
with the consent of all the States
with the consent of the majority of States
with the consent of the States concerned
without the consent of any State
Explanation
Under Article 253 of the Indian Constitution, Parliament has the power to make any law for implementing international treaties, agreements or conventions without requiring consent from the States. This is because foreign relations are a Union subject and international obligations bind the entire nation. Option (d) is correct. The other options wrongly suggest that state consent is required, which contradicts the constitutional framework where Parliament is supreme in implementing international treaties.
