The Parliament can make any law for whole or any part of India for implementing international treaties
- Awith the consent of all the States
- Bwith the consent of the majority of States
- Cwith the consent of the States concerned
- Dwithout the consent of any StateCorrect
Explanation
Correct Answer: D) without the consent of any State
Article 253 of the Indian Constitution empowers the Parliament to legislate for the implementation of any treaty or agreement with other countries or international organizations. This power is exercised even without the consent of the states. This is based on the principle that foreign affairs and international treaties are within the exclusive domain of the Union government.
Let's analyze why other options are incorrect:
A) with the consent of all the States: This is incorrect. Requiring unanimous consent would render the treaty implementation process impractical and vulnerable to obstruction by a single state. B) with the consent of the majority of States: Similar to option A, requiring a majority consent is not constitutionally mandated and would create unnecessary hurdles. C) with the consent of the States concerned: While states may be consulted, their consent is not a constitutional requirement for Parliament to enact laws implementing international treaties. The power rests solely with the Union. Key Constitutional Provision: Article 253 – Legislation for Implementing Treaties.
