'hang kulbhushan at wagah border': veena malik loses it after icj stays jadhav's execution

"The Court recalls that it indicated a provisional measure directing Pakistan to take all measures at its disposal to ensure that Mr Jadhav is not executed pending the final decision in

the present proceedings (Jadhav (India v Pakistan), Provisional Measures, Order of 18 May 2017, I.C.J. Reports 2017, p. 246, para. 61 (I))." "The Court considers that a continued

stay of execution constitutes an indispensable condition for the effective review and reconsideration of the conviction and sentence of Mr Jadhav," said ICJ president Abdulqawi Ahmed

Yusuf, who read out the 42-page judgement on the petition filed by India in May 2017 against Pakistan's military court sentencing of Jadhav. Jadhav, 49, was purportedly

"arrested" from Balochistan by Pakistani security forces on March 3, 2016, after he entered the country from Iran as claimed by Islamabad. India has rejected Pakistan's claims

and has always maintained that Jadhav was in Iran on a business trip. He has been in jail since March 2016. The ICJ order said: "To conclude, the Court finds that Pakistan is under an

obligation to provide, by means of its own choosing, effective review and reconsideration of the conviction and sentence of Mr. Jadhav, so as to ensure that full weight is given to the

effect of the violation of the rights set forth in Article 36 of the Vienna Convention, taking account of paragraphs 139, 145 and 146 of this Judgment." The 16-member Court unanimously

found that it had jurisdiction to go into the case under the Vienna Convention to entertain the application filed by India on May 8, 2017. By 15 votes to one, it rejected the objections

raised by Pakistan to the admissibility of India's petition. The Court by 15 votes to one also held that by not informing Jadhav without delay of his rights under the Vienna Convention

on consular relations, Pakistan breached the obligations incumbent upon it under the provision.
