India settles disputes under international law through various mechanisms, including negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and judicial settlement. Some of the key mechanisms are as follows: Negotiation: Negotiation is a process in which the parties involved in a dispute attempt to resolve it by mutual agreement. India has used negotiation to settle disputes with other countries on a range of issues, such as border disputes and trade disputes. Mediation and Conciliation: Mediation and conciliation are processes in which a neutral third party helps the parties involved in a dispute to reach a mutually acceptable solution. India has used mediation and conciliation to settle disputes with other countries, such as the India-Pakistan dispute over the Kishanganga hydroelectric project. Arbitration: Arbitration is a process in which the parties involved in a dispute agree to submit their case to an independent third party, the arbitrator, whose decision is binding. India has used arbitration to settle disputes with other countries, such as the maritime boundary dispute with Bangladesh. Judicial Settlement: Judicial settlement is a process in which the parties involved in a dispute agree to submit their case to an international court or tribunal. India has accepted the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and has also used ad hoc arbitration tribunals to settle disputes with other countries, such as the dispute with Pakistan over the maritime boundary in the Arabian Sea. Overall, India uses a range of mechanisms to settle disputes under international law. The choice of mechanism depends on the nature of the dispute and the preferences of the parties involved.
