Italy hails halt to India jurisdiction (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, August 24 - Italy on Monday hailed a decision by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) to halt Indian jurisdiction over the marines case, while deploring its move to abstain from issuing measures allowing Salvatore Girone and Massimiliano Latorre to come home pending its ultimate resolution.
    The move "partially safeguards Italian rights," said Italian government representative Francesco Azzarello.
    "We are however disappointed the court declined to issue measures on the situation of Girone and Latorre".
