In which landmark case the International Court of Justice dealt with extra-territorial or diplomatic asylum ?
Answer: C
The ICJ dealt with diplomatic asylum in the Haya de la Torre case.
Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, a Peruvian political leader, was granted asylum in the Colombian embassy in Lima in 1949. In the Asylum case (Colombia v. Peru, 1950) and the follow-up Haya de la Torre case (1951), the International Court of Justice examined the legality of diplomatic asylum, holding that there was no general right to it and no regional custom binding Peru, but that Colombia was not obliged to surrender him.
The Caroline case concerns self-defence, Luther v. Sagor the effect of recognition on a foreign government's acts, and the Abu Salem case extradition.
