Correct answer: (B) The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court — The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court has not been incorporated into Indian law.
Explanation
★The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court has not been incorporated into Indian law.
★India has not signed or ratified the Rome Statute and is not a party to the ICC.
★The Rome Statute, adopted in 1998, established the International Criminal Court.
★The ICC tries individuals for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
★The Tokyo, Geneva and Anti-Apartheid conventions have been given effect in Indian law.
★India stayed out of the ICC over concerns about sovereignty and the Security Council's role.
★So the Rome Statute is the instrument not reflected in Indian legislation.
