India slams developed countries for climate crisis at ICJ hearing
ICJ) on Thursday, saying they exploited the global carbon budget, failed to honour climate-finance promises and are now demanding that developing countries restrict their resource use. The court is examining what legal obligations countries have to address climate change and the consequences if they fail.
India also urged the ICJ to avoid creating new obligations that go beyond the existing climate-change framework.
«The court may exercise due caution to avoid devising new or additional obligations beyond what is already agreed under the existing climate-change regime, which take into consideration historic emissions, climate justice and the principal principle of equity and CBDR-RC, as well as the equitable access to the global carbon budget,» the country said.
China and the United States have also told the court that the existing UN framework is sufficient to determine States' legal obligations to fight climate change.
Making submissions on behalf of India, Luther M Rangreji, joint secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), said, «If contribution to degradation is unequal, responsibility must also be unequal.»
