India 'misrepresenting' ICJ verdict in Jadhav case, says Pakistan
The Hindu
India had called out Pakistan for bringing out a flawed Bill to review the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Pakistan on Saturday accused India of "misrepresenting" the verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case and asserted that it is ready to fulfil all obligations under the international law. India on Thursday asked Pakistan to address the "shortcomings" in a Bill brought out to facilitate the reviewing of the case of Mr. Jadhav, saying the proposed law does not create a mechanism to reconsider it as mandated by the ICJ. Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi in New Delhi said the Review and Reconsideration Bill 2020 does not create a mechanism to facilitate effective review and reconsideration of Mr. Jadhav's case as mandated by the ICJ judgement. He added that municipal courts cannot be the arbiter of whether a state has fulfilled its obligations in international law.More Related News
