The International Court of Justice that ruled in favour of India’s request against the death penalty handed down to Kulbhushan Jadhav and stayed his execution delivered its verdict by a 15:1 majority. The only dissenting voice in the 16-member world court on most counts was ad-hoc judge Tassaduq Hussain Gillani, 69, a former chief justice of Pakistan.
Judge Gillani concurred with his fellow judges on only one point: That the ICJ, variously also referred to as the UN court or world court, has jurisdiction to hear India’s plea against Pakistan over Kulbhushan Jadhav.
1. By a 15:1 majority, ICJ rejected Pakistan’s three objections to the UN court admitting India’s request.
2. By a 15:1 majority, ICJ concluded that Pakistan breached its obligations under the Vienna convention by not informing Mr Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav of his rights to consular access under this pact.
