There’s an opportunity Subhani

in reprieve for Jadhav
T
here is tremendous relief in India that the International Court of
Justice has stayed the execution of Kulbhushan Jadhav in
Pakistan. In a 15-1 verdict in which only the Pakistani judge dis-
sented, the ICJ upheld India’s plea that Pakistan had violated the
Vienna Convention. The trial of the Indian accused of being a spy in a
Pakistani military court was a sham, defying all international norms.
The plea for consular access, denied unfairly, has also been accepted. It's
a fair verdict that condemns the Pakistan military trial, while advising
that country to review the trial process. But truth to tell, Jadhav
remains in Pakistan custody and will be subject to its jurisprudence.
What remains to be seen is how a miffed Pakistan reacts to an issue that
questions the foundation of its legal system. The celebration of the
reprieve is justified, but we may have to wait longer to see Jadhav’s
return to India.
The real position is that the ICJ verdict appears to be procedural:
Pakistan can easily address this in a retrial in a civil court, and perhaps
still sentence Jadhav for his alleged role as a spy. The ICJ has not ruled
on the merits of whether Jadhav is a spy and whether he can be the sub-
ject of en espionage/terrorism trial, which
anyway was beyond the ICJ’s remit. The
