The public hearing of the Jadhav case by the ICJ on Monday, May 15
  • 5 years ago
After the death sentence was rewarded to Jadhav, India on May 8 had approached ICJ seeking a stay over Jadha’s death penalty. India had also accused Pakistan of “egregious violations” of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR).

Following India’s request, the ICJ, using its powers under the ‘Optional Protocol to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations concerning the Compulsory Settlement of Disputes of 24 April 1963’ stayed Kulbhushan Jadhav’s execution.

India had requested consular access to Jadhav for almost 16 times, but was rejected every time by Pakistan. Both India and Pakistan is the signatory to VCCR.

The public hearing of the Jadhav case by the ICJ would be taking place on Monday, May 15.
