Nawaz Sharif resigns

Pakistan Supreme Court disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from holding public office on 28th July 2017. In a landmark judgment, a five Judge bench unanimously ruled to register a case against Sharif and ordered sending a reference against him and his family to an accountability court.  The judges ruled that the Prime Minister had been dishonest to parliament and the courts, and could not be deemed fit for his office. The court also ordered the National Accountability Bureau to file the reference in an accountability court in six weeks and for the case to be wrapped up within six months. 

The reference will also be filed against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and Captain (Retd.) Muhammad Safdar, Shairf's son-in-law. The Election Commission of Pakistan was also ordered to issue the notification declaring the prime minister's disqualification. This is the third time the prime minister has been unable to complete his term in the chief executive's office. Speaking to media, Attorney General, Ashtar Ausaf Ali said the prime minister has been disqualified for life and he will not be able to contest elections again.  The scandal surfaced when the Panama Papers leaks last year revealed that Sharif's sons, Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz and his daughter Maryam owned offshore companies which managed their family's properties. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has resigned from his post following the verdict of the Supreme Court.

Indonesia renames part of South China Sea as "North Natuna Sea"

Indonesia has renamed part of the South China Sea as it will now refer to the northern areas of its exclusive economic zone in the sea as the "North Natuna Sea. The part of the renamed area falls in China’s “nine-dash line” waters extending hundreds of miles to the south and east of China’s island province Hainan.  China claims the entirety of the sea, but Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia all have competing territorial claims to parts that are near their respective shores. In recent years, China has invested heavily in building and militarizing artificial islands in the South China Sea.

Indonesia insists it is a non-claimant state in the South China Sea dispute but has clashed with China over fishing rights around the Natuna Islands, detaining Chinese fishermen and expanding its military presence in the area over the past 18 months. Unveiling the new official map, the Deputy of Maritime Sovereignty at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Arif Havas Oegroseno, noted the northern side of its exclusive economic zone was the site of oil and gas activity. "We want to update the naming of the sea, we gave a new name in line with the usual practice: the North Natuna Sea," he told reporters. In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said he did not know anything about the details of the issue, but said the name South China Sea had broad international recognition and clear geographic limits.
