Can ICJ ensure the life of Kulbhushan Jadhav?
July 19, 2019
Associate Fellow, IDSA, Dr Rajeesh Kumar’s article on Kulbhushan Jadhav, titled ‘Can ICJ ensure the life of Kulbhushan Jadhav?’ has been published in Global South Colloquy on July 19, 2019.
The Jadhav Case showcases the virtue of doing right things at right time and place, rather than hanging on to irrational policy acuities that no outside mediation is acceptable in any aspect of the India-Pakistan conflict. Whether it is bilateral or, multilateral, India’s primary concern should be national interest and ensure the life of Indian citizens. Such a policy and approach was more or less absent in India’s foreign policy in the past. Cases such as banning of Masood Azhar at the UNSC and Kulbhushan Jadhav at the ICJ show that India is on the right track on using multilateral forums pragmatically, writes Dr Kumar.
