India's nominee re-elected to ICJ

Dalveer Bhandari India scored a major diplomatic win with the reelection of its candidate, Dalveer Bhandari, to the International Court of Justice after the UK withdrew its nominee in the face of overwhelming support in the UN General Assembly for the Indian Judge.
This was the first time that P-5 countries (US, UK, Russia, China and France) were pitted directly against a non-Security Council member for the post of ICJ judge. Congratulating Justice Bhandari, the UK said it continues to cooperate closely with India at the United Nations and globally.
