HAGUE – Pakistan will today present substantial evidence against Indian navy commander Kulbhushan Jadhav in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) during a four-day hearing of the high-profile case of espionage.
The ICJ will resume the hearing in The Hague, allowing both India and Pakistan the opportunity to present their arguments in the case.
Earlier, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi asserted that a legal team would present Pakistan’s stance in the case and that Jadhav had already “confessed of committing terrorism in Pakistan.”
Jadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court after he was convicted of espionage.
In 2018, the ICJ, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations decided to hold hearings in the case from February 2019.
India presented its arguments yesterday while Pakistan will present evidence today. Then India will reply on Feb 20 whereas Pakistan will make its closing submissions on February 21.
