The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will deliver its verdict on Kulbhushan Jadhav’s death sentence today. Here is an easy-to-understand guide on what the case is all about.
All eyes will be on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as it delivers its verdict in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case that is being contested between India and Pakistan before the world body. President of the ICJ, Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf, will read out the verdict at 6:30 pm (IST) today at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands. The verdict comes after nearly two years of arguments in front of the ICJ by India and Pakistan.
Over the past few years, the Kulbhushan Jadhav case has gained much traction as India and Pakistan remained steadfast on their respective grounds. The verdict in this high-profile case comes nearly five months after a 15-member bench of ICJ led by Judge Yusuf had reserved its decision on February 21 after hearing oral submissions by India and Pakistan. The proceedings of the case took two years and two months to complete.
