Abstract
India executes one of the fewest convicts in the world yet the doctrine that authorises those executions remains one of its most contested legal constructs. “Rarest of rare” sounds like a legal standard. In practice, it may be something closer to a feeling

Its coherence instead depends on a body of secondary rules that determine when a State has breached its obligations and what legal consequences follow from that breach.

Abstract
The case of Prosecutor v. Dusko Tadić, decided by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), occupies a singular place in the development of International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
