Finally, the impact of an ICJ decision can have consequences on treaties entered into by states. For instance, the U.S. withdrew from the Optional Protocol of the VCCR in 2009, in part as a result of cases at the ICJ. Furthermore, the decision of the court impacts consular relations between the two states, as well as for nationals of other third-party states.
And last, but certainly not least, this case has implications in regard to an individual who has been sentenced to death, the gravest of penalties.
1. Tomorrow, the International Court of Justice will give its decision in the #Jadhav case
Amidst all the noise about this case, it’s important to remember the key question before the Court:
Did Pakistan violate Art. 36(1) of the VCCR by denying consular access to Jadhav?
