Jul 17, 2019 Outlook Web Bureau Kulbhushan Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, was kidnapped by Pakistani agencies on March 3, 2016, from Iran where he was in connection with his business.
India on Wednesday questioned the functioning of Pakistan's notorious military courts and urged the top UN court to annul Jadhav's death sentence, which is based on an 'extracted confession'.
Harish Salve, who was representing India in the case, also said that the time has come for the ICJ to make Article 36 a potent weapon for protecting human rights.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday refused to entertain a request made by Pakistan to adjourn the hearing in the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav to appoint a new ad-hoc judge.
Jadhav's trial by a Pakistani military court "hopelessly failed to satisfy even the minimum standards of due process", ex-solicitor general Harish Salve told the ICJ.
A 10-member bench of the ICJ on May 18, 2017 had restrained Pakistan from executing Jadhav till adjudication of the case.

India had moved the ICJ in May last year after Jadhav, 48, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism.
