MukulRohatgi, Attorney GeneralforIndia, says the ICJ verdict is a big win for human rights. The bogus stand by Pakistan has been blown by this decision. It is binding on both states,he said.
3:52 p.m. ICJ says Pakistan can't execute Jadhavbefore the final decision isdelivered. Pakistan has indicated that any execution won't take place before August 2017. This suggests that an execution could take place thereafter before the court has given its final decision. The court notes that Pakistan has given no assurance that Jadhav will not be executed before the court has given its final verdict. Pakistan should take all measures that Jadhav is not executed pendingfinal decision.
