The Parliament can make any law for whole or any part of India for implementing international treaties
A
with the consent of all the States
B
with the consent of the majority of States
C
with the consent of the States concerned
D
without the consent of any State
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. Article 253 of the Constitution of India deals with legislation for giving effect to international agreements.
2. It explicitly empowers the Parliament to make any law for the whole or any part of India for implementing any treaty, agreement, or convention with other countries or any decision made at any international conference, association, or other body.
3. This power is granted 'Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Chapter,' which means it overrides the normal distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the States (as defined in the Seventh Schedule, including the State List).
4. Therefore, the Parliament can legislate even on matters in the State List if it is necessary for the purpose of implementing international treaties, and it does not require the consent of any State for this purpose.
