Press Statement by Mr. Sartaj Aziz, Adviser to the Prime Minister on
Foreign Affairs on 14 April 2017
(2017-04-14) As you are aware,.the death sentence of Kulbushan Jhadav and the
subsequent statements from India have generated considerable discussion in the
media. A number of questions have been raised regarding trial of Kulbushan Jhadav. I
would like to comment on the background and the developments of this case.
Kulbushan Jhadav, who is responsible for espionage, sabotage and terrorism in
Pakistan, has been tried according to the law of the land, in a fully transparent
manner while preserving his rights, as per the Constitution of Pakistan. Due process
has been followed while proceeding against Mr. Jhadav. All further action in this
regard shall also be taken in accordance with our laws.
As is widely known, Kalbushan Jhadav alias, Hussain Mubarak Patel, a serving
Commander of Indian Navy, and working with the Indian Intelligence Agency/RAW was
apprehended on March 3, 2016 after he illegally crossed over into Pakistan from the
Saravan border in Iran. Kulbushan Jhadav was found in possession of an Indian
passport issued by Government of India on May 12, 2015 and valid until May 11, 2024.
He confessed that he is a resident of Mumbai, India, still serving in the Indian Navy
and his retirement is due in 2022.
He was tried by Field General Court Martial (FGCM) under section 59 of Pakistan Army
Act (PAA) 1952 and Section 3 of Official Secret Act of 1923. Mr. Jhadav was provided
with a legal counsel in accordance with provisions of our law. Mr. Jhadav confessed
before a Magistrate and the Court that he was tasked by the Indian Intelligence
Agency, RAW, to plan, coordinate and organize espionage and sabotage activities
aimed at destabilizing and waging war against Pakistan. Kulbushan was involved in
both espionage and terrorist/sabotage activities resulting in the loss of many lives and
damage to property.
I will like to share details of some terrorist activities in which Kulbushan Jhadav was
directly involved.
- He sponsored and directed IEDs and Grenade Attacks in Gawadar and Turbat.
- Directed attacks on the Radar station and civilian boats in the sea, opposite Jiwani
Port.
- Funded subversive secessionist and terrorist elements through Hawala/Hundi for
subverting the Pakistani youth against the country, especially in Balochistan.
- Sponsored explosions of gas pipelines and electric pylons in Sibi and Sui areas in
Balochistan.
- Sponsored IED explosions in Quetta in 2015, causing massive damage to life and
property.
- Sponsored attack on Hazaras in Quetta and Shia Zaireen enroute to and back from
Iran.
- Abetted attacks through anti-state elements against LEAs/FC and FWO in areas of
Turbat, Punjgur, Gawadar, Pasni and Jiwani during 2014-15, killing and injuring many
civilians and soldiers.
The Court found Mr. Jhadav guilty. The espionage case against Kulbushan was tried by
the FGCM and concluded under Pakistan Army Act Section 2 and Official Secret Act
1923. His sentence for espionage was endorsed on 10 April 2017.
The proceedings of this case went through different stages in accordance with legal
requirements over a period of one year. Following is the timeline:
1. Confessional Video statement of Kulbushan Jhadav, the active RAW operative - 25
March 2016
2. Initial FIR in CTD Quetta - 8 April 2016
3. Initial interrogation - 2 May 2016
4. Detailed interrogation - 22 may 2016
5. Joint Investigation Team constituted on 12 July 2016
6. Confessional statement under Section 164 CrPC - 22 July 2016
7. Recording of summary of evidence - 24 September 2016
8. 1st proceeding - 21 September 2016
9. 2nd proceeding - 19 October 2016
10. 3rd proceeding - 29 November 2016
11 . 4th proceeding - 12 February 2017
12. Death sentence endorsed on 10 April 2017
From the outset, transparency was ensured in the proceedings of the trial of
Commander Kulbushan Jhadav. Following steps were specifically taken to ensure
transparency under the Pakistani Laws and Pakistan Army Act.
1) His confessional statement was recorded before a Magistrate under Section 164
CrPC.
2) The proceedings were conducted under the Law of Evidence (Qanun-e-Shahadat
1984) in the competent court
3) A law qualified field officer was provided to defend him throughout the Court
proceedings
4) All statements of witnesses were recorded under oath, in the presence of the
accused, in the court.
5) Commander Kulbushan was allowed to ask questions from witnesses.
6) During the trial, a fully qualified, law officer of Judge Advocate General (JAG)
Branch remained a part of the Court.
7) Punishment after the trial was awarded by the highest forum.
As per law, Kulbushan Jhadav has following available options
1. He has the right to appeal within 40 days to an Appellate Court.
2. He may lodge a mercy petition to the COAS within 60 days of the decision by the
appellate court.
3. He may lodge a mercy petition to the President of Pakistan within 90 days after the
decision of COAS on the mercy petition.
It should be clear from these details that Kulbushan Jhadav was tried under the law of
the land in a fully transparent manner. His sentence is based on credible, specific
evidence proving his involvement in espionage and terrorist activities in Pakistan.
Letter of Assistance requesting specific information and access to certain key
witnesses was shared with the Government of India on 23 January, 2017. There has
been no response from the Indian side so far.
I would like to ask India why Kulbushan Jhadav was using a fake identity
impersonating as a Muslim? Why would an innocent man possess two passports, one
with a Hindu name and another with a Muslim name? Since India has no credible
explanation about why their serving Naval Commander was in Balochistan, it has
unleashed a flimsy propaganda campaign. Inflammatory statements and rhetoric
about "pre-meditated murder" and "unrest in Balochistan", will only result in
escalation, serving no useful purpose.
We condemn the baseless allegations from India, especially in the light of the fact
that it was non-cooperation and lack of Indian response to Pakistan's request for legal
assistance, due to which consular access has not been provided to Mr. Jhadav. May I
mention in this context that India has not allowed consular access to many Pakistani
prisoners for many years despite repeated requests.
We expect India to behave responsibly and refrain from issuing statements that will
further aggravate people to people hostility. More active diplomacy is therefore
needed to arrest the growing crises in India-Pakistan relations before it becomes even
more serious.
In conclusion of this statement, let me re-emphasize two points:
First, all political parties are unanimous that the award of death penalty after due
process and overwhelming evidence to a foreign spy, who was not only carrying out
subversive activities in Pakistan but actually promoting terrorism, is the correct
decision.
Second, the whole nation is solidly united against any threat to Pakistan's security.

Record of the Press Briefing by Spokesperson on 20 April 2017
(2017-04-20) [This is a rush transcript. This copy may not be in its final form and may be
updated.]
Opening Remarks
Bismillah IrRehman NirRahim Assalaam Alaikum
I offer my profound condolences to Mr. Zafar Hashmi, Chief Reporter Dunya News on the
sad demise of his beloved father yesterday. May Allah rest the departed soul in eternal peace
and grant fortitude to the bereaved family to bear the irreparable loss, Ameen!
Will of Kashmiris in Indian occupied Jammu & Kaslunir was clearly visible in their outright
rej ection of sham elections there. Our Prime Minister, while calling upon Int'! Community to
stop Indian atrocities in IOK, rightly said that 'use of brute force against innocent Kashmiris,
who refused to participate in the sham elections, cannot suppress their human urge of
freedom.' Harrowing stories from Indian occupied Kashmir continue to raise concerns in
Pakistan.
Last week, Indian Home Minister claimed that Indian government will control the situation
within a year and showed his determination to do with whatever it takes.
The impmiant developments that have followed this warning arc:
Operation against Educational Institutions: Indian occupation forces have launched an all out
war on Kasluniri students. They have attacked women education institutions as well. A dozen
colleges have been attacked, injuring thousands of students - both boys and girls. It is
pertinent to mention that almost all the Kashmiris, who have been slain by the occupation
authorities in IOK, were students - a large number of them with Masters degrees in science or
social sciences.
Open violation of human rights: Displaying complete disregard for the UN Charter and
International Covenant and Conventions and challenging the International Community.
Recently, 'leaked' several videos, openly showing use of htm1an shield, beating, abusing and
humiliating Kaslm1iris in the loK by the occupation forces, is a manifestation.
Social Media is being banned to ensure that 'reports of crimes against humanity committed by
Indian occupation forces do not go out of IOK.
Indian brutalities, murder and blinding could not deter Kashmiri pro-freedom struggle and
spirit. We remain committed to extending our unflinching moral, political and diplomatic
support to the Kashmiris.
Visits of dignitaries and high-level delegations from various countries and International
forums continued. We have kept you updated on the outcome through press releases.
Now the Floor is open for Questions
Question
I want to ask you this question that Indian spy and terrorist, who was arrested from Pakistan -
Commander Kulbhushan Jhadev, his case has been thoroughly followed by the Indian
Government and media to the extent that they have summoned our diplomats. I want to ask
that we had huge tragedy that was of Samjhauta Express terrorist attack in 2007. It was a big
terrorist activity. Did our diplomatic mission approach or Foreign Office summoned any
Indian diplomat in this regard? So, that they share with us details of the investigations and
punishments to RSS terrorists, Swami Aseemanand and Col. Purohit. When will they be
sentenced and what is the status of their case or has it been set aside? (Sheeba Mahar - Daily
SAMAA)
Supplementary Question
Indian Ministry of External Affairs has summoned Pakistani Deputy High Commissioner and
they have protested on the death sentence of Kulbhushan Jhadev. They have also requested
for the Consular access. What is your take on this? (Tariq Sial - Daily Times)
Answer
I think I have been briefing you people on the efforts that we are putting in to get the
information about the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack. You have rightly pointed out that. We
have taken up this issue but I need to check back. I ca1mot give you response off-the-cuff
whether we have summoned anyone from the Indian High Commission and if we did so,
when? I need to note this question and we can get back to you with a reply. Your question
was specific to the summoning aspect and as to what we have done, so far. We did take up
the issue of Sarnjhauta Express terrorist attack on numerous occasions with Indian leadership
as well as thrnugh diplomatic channels seeking information of proceedings of the
investigations into that terrorist attack. Swami Assemanand, who was the Mastermind, made
a confession in 2010, ifI recall correctly. He also identified Col Purohit, who was then
serving Indian army officer, who was also the head of a terrorist organization, Abhinath
Bharat. He was an accomplice in the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack. Samjhauta terrorist
attack was not the only terrorist attack but there were many other which were identified by
SM Mushrif who was IG of Maharashtra and he wrote a book entitled: 'Who Killed Karkare.'
The book reflects as to how RSS, in connivance with IB and other government institutions
and organizations have remained involved in a number of terrorist attacks, which they carried
out themselves or staged in India and blamed on others including Pakistan.
I will check what the answer on yom question and get back to you. Mr. Tariq you have
mentioned about summoning of om Deputy High Commissioner on the issue related to
Commander Kulbhushan. As he was summoned definitely to convey their reaction but this is
not something new they did, it was a reaction after award of the death sentence to the
Commander Kulbhushan, who is a spy and he made confessions that he was involved in
tenor financing, subversive and terrorist activities in Pakistan besides being a spy and
indulging in espionage. Then regarding consular access we have said this earlier also that we
have bilateral agreement on consular access and according to A11 IV, in all such cases as the
one of Commander Kulbhushan the request of 1his nature would be decided on the basis of
merits.
Question
India has decided to put all bilateral interactions on hold over the death sentence to
Commander Kulbhushan Jhadev. The meeting between Pakistan Maritime Security Agency
and Indian Coast Guard which were postponed and even release of Pakistani prisoners who
have completed sentences has been withheld. How do you see the Indian reaction to save a
terrorist who has confessed to all his committed crimes? (Amjad Ali = PTV)
Supplementary Question
My question is regarding the sentence awarded to Kulbhushim Jhadev that the Indian media is
saying that it is violation of Vienna Convention Art. 36 that he is not being given Consular
Access. What is your take on this? My second question is that as summer season starts in
Pakistan, foreign tourists will stait coming to Pakistan for hiking and mountaineering. Has
there been a special desk established in our missions for promoting tourism in Pakistan? (Fida
Hussain - Radio News Network)
Answer
First the second question regarding tourism. There is a comprehensive policy for promoting
tourism. In this regard guidelines are provided from time to time to the Pakistan missions
abroad. There are different types of tourism such as 'Sightseeing', students of history come
and see the historical places or heritage of Pakistan. There are set guidelines for issuing visas
for trekking and mountaineering. For that activity there are authorized tour operators and
those who facilitate trekkers and mountaineers. The contacts and website details of
authorized people, who can arrange these expeditions, are available online and also our
Missions Abroad. Those who are seeking to come to Pakistan for tourism may get the
information from those sources.
As to your second question about Commander Jhadev, who is responsible for espionage,
sabotage and terrorism in Pakistan, was tried according to the law of the land, in a fully
transparent manner while preserving his rights, as per the Constitution of Pakistan. His
sentence is based on credible, specific evidence proving his involvement in espionage and
terrorist activities in Pakistan, resulting in the loss of scores of precious lives of Pakistanis.
The reaction from India, especially withholding the release of Pakistani prisoners, who have
completed their sentences, for a spy and terrorist working against Pakistan's national
interests, is disappointtng. Inflammatory statements emanating li-0111 India are against
international norms and will only result in escalation, serving no constructive purpose. Indian
reaction should be seen in the backdrop of exposme of its state involvement in perpetrating
subversive and terrorist activities in Pakistan.
I would once again tmderscore the point that Indian reaction must be seen in the backdrop of
its exposure of involvement in terrorism and terror-financing in Pakistan.
Question
Prime Minister of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has asked the government of Pakistan to convince
the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to carry out economic blockade of India because of
rising atrocities in IoK. Will Pakistan take any initiative in this regard? (Khawaja Nayaar
Iqbal - Kashmir Post)
Answer
OlC has always extended its unequivocal support to the Kashmiris for their right to selfdetermination
in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions. There is also an OIC
Contact Group on Kashmir.
Recently, a high ranking delegation of Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission
(IPHRC) of OIC visited Pakistan and AJK from 27 to 29 March 2017. Regrettably, they were
denied access by India in Indian occupied Kashmir. Their visit enabled them to get a clearer
tmderstanding of what was happening in Kaslunir. Pakistan openly welcomed the delegation,
and during their 3-day stay they met family members of victims oflndian atrocities.
Moreover, OIC Secretary General also visited Pakistan recently and expressed deep concern
over Indian brutalities and gross human rights violations in IoK.
The Government of Pakistan will continue to approach the international community including
OIC and UN to bring to their notice the grave situation prevailing in IoK. We remain
committed to extending moral, political and diplomatic suppott to oppressed Kashmiris in
IoK, who must be given their legitimate right to self-determination, in accordance with the
relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.
We remind the international c01111mmity that much revered values of humanity, justice,
freedom and international human rights must not be compromised for the political or
economic expediencies.
Question
Fresh videos oflndian atrocities in IoK have come to fore which exposed the horrible
practices of Indian occupation forces in Indian occupied Kashmir against the defenceless
Kasluniris. Voices within India, including its media, have raised voice against these ghastly
instances. Your comments please! Has Pakistan taken up this issue internationally also?
(Shahid Maitla - ARY News)
Answer
The Indian brutalities have intensified, especially since 8 July 2016. The popular and
indigenous demand for their right to self-detennination has further intensified in the wake of
brutalities unleashed by the Indian occupation forces. Hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris
have thronged to the streets in IOK, peacefully demanding their inalienable right to selfdetermination.
The Indian occupation forces have been using live ammunition and pellet guns
against the protesters, as a result of which more than 200 civilians have been killed so far,
and arotmd 20,000 injured. The Indian occupation forces have mass blinded the Kashmiri
youth, including women and children, by deliberately targeting their eyes with pellet gun
shots. This is the first incident of mass blinding in human history as rightly pointed out in a
British daily, The Guardian's 12-page article published on 8 Nov. 20 I 6, which said: 'There is
no recorded instance of a modern democracy systematically and will fo lly shooting at people
to blind them.'
We strongly condemn the Indian barbarities in IoK and call upon~ the international
community including the UN to take inunediate notice of the gross human rights violations.
Question
Afghan Ambassador Zakhilwal hinted that a joint operation against TTP leader Mullah
Fazlullah could be possible in near future. Has the Afghan side officially contacted Pakistan
in this regard? Have they shared information about the whereabouts of TTP leadership? Has
Afghanistan also extended such cooperation to hunt top leadership of JuA, especially after
surrender of fonner TTP Spokesman Ehsan Ullah Ehsan?
Secondly, what is your reaction on North Korea's recent missile tests? (Essa Naqvi - Dunya
News)
Answer
As to your first question, Pakistan has been stating that there are hideouts of .f uA and TTP in
Afghanistan from where they continue to launch attacks in Pakistan. We have urged the
Afghan Government to take action against these tenorists.
On your second question, Pakistan regrets that DPRK continues to undertake actions in
violation of its international obligations under the relevant UNSC resolutions. Pakistan
expresses grave concern at the recent missile launches carried out by DRPK.
Question
First there are 50 Pakistanis detained in Libya, holding legal passports and Visas. According
to information, six persons are in Massada, seven are in Karak and so on. Our embassy is
helpless in their release. There is deplorable condition of our embassy there is no officer
there, it is run by grade 15 officer.
Secondly, in Afghanistan mother of all bombs was dropped, was there a Pakistani or Taliban
terrorist killed, has info been shared with us? (Abbas Yawar - lJrdu Express)
Supplementary Question
In Afghanistan mother of all bombs was dropped, was there any environmental impact on
Pakistan? (Anwar Abbas Waqt News)
Answer
As to Mr. Abbas Yawar's firsr question, I don't have information on this particular case of 50
detainees as of now. I have noted your specific query but let me reflect on the issue of
Pakistanis' welfare abroad as a matter of policy. Pakistani living or working in a foreign
countTy are required to fo llow the local laws. They are usually arrested when found in
violation of the local laws. If there is an Embassy, it is our responsibility, which we fulfill,
whenever we receive a report about detention of any Pakistani in any crime, we approach and
request the host government to get the crime for which he or she is detained. And accordingly
we take up the case with that government. The procedure also involves ascertaining of the
person's antecedents whether he or she is a Pakistani or not.
Question
After the "do more" rhetoric of Obama Administration and the mounting pressure on
Pakistan, do you think that the Trump Administration's policies towards Pakistan are any
different from his predecessor? (Ayaz Gui - VOA)
Supplementary Question
Since the American Administration is increasingly concerned about terrorist activities, and its
debilitating effect in the region, did Pakistan raise up the issue of Kulbhushan Yadav with the
visiting US NSA, since his case is a testimony to India's active involvement in state terrorism
and terror financing in Pakistan? (Tariq Mahmood - SAMAA TV)
Answer
This was the first high level visit from Trump Administration to Pakistan. It reflected the high
importance the new administration attaches to its relations with Pakistan. We had issued the
press release on the outcome of the visit. The larger context of the meeting was to reflect on
the regional situation, with particular reference to situation in Afghanistan, and how Pakistan
and the US could address the situation in Afghanistan together, and bring lasting peace to the
region. The question of Kashmir in the context of Pakistan-India relations was also discussed,
as the situation has raised concerns across the world. Pakistan wishes to build its relations
with the new administration and on the basis of existing solid foundation, we want to take it
the next levels.
As far as recognition of Pakistan's efforts towards fight against terrorism is concerned, the US
and the entire world at various levels of political leadership have time and again recognized
Pakistan's contributions, sacrifices and economic losses in the fight against terrorism. We
draw no distinction, and have taken action against all types of terrorists, the manifestation of
which is the improved security and economic situation in the country.
The US Commanders and Senior army personnel, who visited Pakistan recently and visited
those areas in Pakistan that were previously considered terrorist infested areas, lauded
Pakistan's gains made in its fight against terrorism. Not only did they leave satisfied, but they
also made their views public.
Question
Indian media reported that US National Security Adviser H.R McMaster after talks with
Afghan leaders in Kabul, has called on regional countries, including Russia and Pakistan, not
to support the Afghan Taliban. Did he raise the issue and what was Pakistan's response?
(Saima Shabbir - Bol News)
Answer
The purpose of McMaster's visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan was to gain perspective on
peace and stability in Afghanistan as the Trump Administration is presently undertaking its
review of the Afghan policy. In this regard, the two sides had a constructive exchange of
views. Afghanistan, Pakistan and the US have a shared interest in promoting peace in
Afghanistan.
Question
Reportedly, Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India may meet on the sidelines of SCO Summit
despite the hostile enviromnent between the two countries. Do you foresee any likelihood of
such a meeting, as it is being said that the US leadership is pushing for such a meeting?
(Asghar Ali Mubarak - Daily Mail Islamabad)
Answer
There is nothing on the table yet as SCO Summit is almost two months away. Nevertheless,
we have consistently maintained that meaningful, result oriented dialogue, sustainable and
constructive engagement to address all outstanding issues, particularly Kashmir dispute, is
the only way forward. Hostility and escalation benefits none.
Question
During US NSA McMaster's talks in the Foreign Office, the subject of Daesh was raised, as
we have seen several arrests in the past few days to this effect. My question is that we have
previously said that Daesh has no footprint in Pakistan. However, there are these arrests
especially on the Pak-Afghan border what steps are Pakistan taking to tackle this issue?
(Naveed Akbar - Daily Dunya)
Answer
I have said this previously also that there is no organized presence of Daesh in Pakistan.
What you are referring to are sporadic instances of a few volunteers who either do it for
money or profiling. As far as the presence of Daesh in Afghanistan is concerned, it has been
confirmed by the UN and US Commander John Nicholson in their recent reports. This is a
matter of growing concern for many countries in the region, and has been a central issue at
the recent meeting on Afghanistan in Moscow. There is a common concern that Daesh and
other terrorist outfits are coming together and gaining foothold in Afghanistan and
endangering regional peace and stability. Regional countries are mindf-ul and considering
ways to tackle the issue.
Question
In the case of kidnapped Colonel Habib Zahir we have heard reports about Indian
involvement in the matter. Has Pakistan fonnally taken up the matter with India? (Saad Umar
- Roze News)
Answer
As regards yam question, you are aware that Lt. Colonel Retired Mohammad Habib Zahir
has been missing since 6 April 20 17 from Lumbini, Nepal where he went for a job interview.
In view of the revelations about the fake emails and website he was contacted from, we
cannot rule out foul play by hostile agencies in his disappearance. The govenunent of
Pakistan has taken up the matter of his disappearance with the Nepal Government with the
request to trace him. An FIR each has also been lodged both in Islamabad and in Nepal.
We have also shared additional information with the Nepal government on 18 April
2017about the individuals who reportedly received him at Lumbini, made his hotel
reservations and booked his tickets which we believe may be helpful in locating him. His
family is very distressed and we hope that he is located at the earliest.
Question
What is the outcome of the Moscow talks? Is the Afghan Taliban also the part of it?
Secondly, Wall Street Journal has rep011ed that Pakistan has deployed five thousand troops
on Saudi-Yemen border and it will also fight against the rebels in Yemen. Has Pakistan
changed its policy Yemen? (Ali Husnain - Business Recorder)
Answer
As to your second question, this is a media report and does not warrant any response.
Regarding the Moscow talks, it was about the situation in Afghanistan, and 11 countries
pa11icipated in the talks including Afghanistan. There was a consensus that all participating
countries were concerned about the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan,
particularly the growing presence of terrorist outfits, including Daesh in Afghanistan, and its
implications on regional peace and stability. This also figured in Moscow talks. Participating
countries discussed that there is urgent need to deal with the security situation in Afghanistan.
The outcome was a common concern and understanding as to how the situation in
Afghanistan should be dealt with.
Question
Whether a Pakistani Parliamentary delegation plans a visit to Afghanistan? (Rabia - Radio
Mashaal)
Answer
I need to check the details.

Jadhav's case: bar warning to lawyers
THE NEWSPAPER'S STAFF REPORTERPUBLISHED APR 15,
2017 06:43AM
LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) on
Friday warned the lawyers against accepting brief of
convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav.
LHCBA secretary Amir Saeed Rawn said it had decided to take
action, including cancellation of membership, against the
lawyer(s) found pursuing appeal of Jadhav against his conviction
by a military court. He said India had been calling J adhav its son
and pressurising Pakistan government for his release.
Mr Rawn said the lawyers would not allow release of Jadhav who
had been found guilty of playing with the lives of innocent people
in Pakistan.

INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE
Case Concerning the Vienna Convention on Consulair
Relations
(India vs. Pakistan)
REQUEST FOR THE INDICATION OF
PROVISIONAL MEASURES OF
PROTECTION
The Hague, 8 May 2017
REQUEST FOR THE INDICATION OF
PROVISIONAL MEASURES OF PROTECTION
SUBMITTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF
THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA
l . I have the honor to refer to the Application
submitted to the Court this day institutiing
proceedings in the name of the Republic of India
against the Government of ithe
Islamic Republic of Pakistan. ln accordance vvith
Article 41 of the Statute of the Court and Articles
73, 74 and 75 of the Rules of Court, I respectfully
submit an urgent request that the Court indicate
provisional measures to preserve the rights of the
Republic of India .
'.2. The Court has jurisdiction pursuant to Article
36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations
1963 and Article 1 of the Optional Protocol to the
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations
Concerning the Compuh,ory Settlement of
Disputes.
1
I. FACTS
3" As more fully set forth in the Application, the
authorities of Pakistan arrested, detained, tried
and sentenced to death on 10 April 20 l 7 an Indian
nationali Mr. Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav, in
egregious violation of the rights of consular access
guaranteed by Article 36, paragraph 1, of the
Vienna Convention.
4. India was informed on 25 March 2016 that an
Indian national (Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav) was
a11egedly arrested on March 3, 2016 . On that very
day, India sought consular access to the said
individual at the earliest. The request did not evoke
any response. Thus, on 30 March 2016 India sent
a reminder reiterating its request for con~u1lar
access to the individual at the earliest. Thirteen
more reminders were sent by India on 6 May 2016,
10 June 2016, 11 July 2016, 26 July 2016, 22
August 20161 3 November 2016, 19 December
2016, 3 February 2017, 3 March 2017, 31 March
2017, 10 April 2017, 14 April 2017 and 19 April
2017. All these requests fell on deaf ears.
2
5 .. Almost a year after India's first request for
consular access, on 23 January 2017, India
received from Pakistan a request for assistance in
investigation of what was described as "FIR No. 6 of
2016." Subsequently, on 21 March 2017, Pakistan
forma1ly communicated to India that consular
access by a State Lo Mr. Jadhav "shall be
considered in the light of Indian side's response to
Pakistan's request for assistance in investigation
process and early dispensation of justice." This \vas
totally against Pakistan's obligation under the
Vienna Convention that does not lay down any
limitation on right of consular access by a State to
its national and also the right of the Indian
national to freely communicate with Indian
authorities under Article 36 of the Convention.
6. India learnt from Press reports on 10 April
20 I 7 that Pakistan proceeded to have a military
trial against Mr. Jadhav and he was sentenced to
death purportedly on the basis of a confessional
statement.
7. India received on l 0 April, 2017 another note
verbale from the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. Islamabad conveying that consular access
3
shall be considered in the light of India's response
to Pakistan's request for assistance 1n the
investigation process.
8 . India responded to this on 10 April, 2017
itself pointing out that this offer was being iterated
after the death sentence had been confirmed - the
information of which was given in a press release
by Pakistan. India stated that this offer "underlines
the farcical nature of the proceedings and the socalled
trial by a Pakistan military court martial".
India pointed out that despite its repeated requests
consular access had not been allowed.
9 . Pakistan was under an international legal
obligation to India, a party to the Vienna
Convention, to comply with the rights of consular
access under sub-paragraphs (a) and (c) of
paragraph 1 of Article 36. Pakistan was also under
an obligation under international law and the
Vienna Convention to allow Indian national to seek
consular access.
10. It was only after the trial had been concluded
that Pakistan, on 21 March 2017, proposed to
consider the request for consular access, and that
4
too, on the condition that India first accede to iits
request for assistance in investigation. The death
sentence was awarded to the Indian national on 10
April 2017. On the same day, Pakistan merely
reiterated its proposal of 21 March 2017.
1 1 . Pakistan continues to deny consular access
and to provide any information regarding the
proceedings against the Indian national includiing
whether an appeal has been filed in the matter.
India submits that, in any event, an appeal is an
illusory remedy for the reasons set forth in detail in
the accompanying Application . Notwithstanding
the above, the mother of Mr. Kulbhushan Sudlhir
Jadhav filed an appeal under Section 133 (B) and a
petition to the Federal Government of Pakistan
under Section 131 of the Pakistan Army Act 1952.
The appeal and the petition were handed ove1r to
the Pakistan Government by the Indian High
Commissioner in Islamabad on April 26, 2017.
12. The request for provisional measures
assumes great urgency as Mr. Jadhav has
already been sentenced to death and he has only
forty days to file an appeal. India has no access to
Mr. ,Jadhav and no access to any information of
s
what is in play in the matter. His conviction, as per
the Press Statement of 17th April 201 7, appears to
be based on his "confession" made when he was in
captivity and without consu1ar access. India has :no
confidence that he will be in a position to file an
appea] that would seriously challenge his
conviction and sentence. It therefore becomes vital
to immediately suspend the execution of th~ dea1th
sentence awarded to him.
13. An appeal has been filed on his behalf by his
mother, and from the press reports it appears that
a court of appeal has already been constituted.
There is thus great urgency in the matter as it is
possible that the appeal may be disposed of even
prior to the expiry of the period of 40 days available
for fi ling.
II. THE AUTHORITY OF THE COURT
14. Article 4 l ( 1) of the Statute of the Court vests
the Court with ''power to indicate, if it considers
that circumstances so require, any provisional
measures which ought to be taken to preserve the
respective rights of either party" pending a final
6
judgment 1n the case. Orders of provisional
measures pursuant to Article 41 establish binding
obligations. La Grand (Gerniany v. United States of
America), Judgment, JCJ Reports 2001, p.466 para.
109.
1. 5 . The Court has.
indicated provisional
1n three reported cases,
measures to prevent
executions in applications based on the violation of
Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular
Relations and which reflects the concern of the
Court in matters of human rights violations such
as those that result from violation of consular
access and assistance in legal proceedings.
16. In the Case Concerning the Vienna Convention
on Consular Relations (Paraguay v. United States of
America), Provisional Mea~ures, Order of 9 April
1998, !CJ Reports 1998, p.248. the Court indicated
provisional measures to prevent the execution of
the Paraguayan national Angel Francisco Breard
pending final judgment. The Court afforded si1nilar
relief in La Grand (Gennany v. United States of
America), Provisional Measures, Order of 3 l\t!arch
1999, /CJ Reports 1999, p. 9 to prevent the
execution of the German national Walter La Grand.
7
In Avena and Other Mexican Nationals (Mexico v.
United Stales of America); Provisional Measures,
Order of 5 February 2003, ICJ Reports 2003, p. 77,
the Court directed the United States of America to
take all measures necessary to ensure that three
Mexican nationals were not executed pending final
judgment.
1 7 . International law recognizes the sanctity of
human life. The International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights IICCPR], to which Pakistan is a
party, establishes that every h urn an being has the
inherent right to life and which shall be protected
by law. Article 14 of the ICCPR entitles every
person to a fair and public trial by an impartial
tribunal. The fairness of the trial depends
substantially upon the means available to an
accused to defend himself effectively. Where a
person is arrested in a foreign country, the right to
consular access. and to seek the assistance of his
home country in his defence is what fulfills the
aspiration of a fair trial in a foreign state.
18. The violation of the Vienna Convention by
Pakistan has resulted in the imposition of the
death penalty on the Indian national. It has
8
prevented India from exercising its rights under the
Convention and has also deprived the Indian
national from the protection accorded under the
Convention.
19. India respectfully submits that rvtr.
Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav will be subjected to
execution unless the Court indicates provisional
measures directing the Government of Pakistan to
take all measures necessary to ensure that he is
not executed until this Court's decision on the
merits of India's claims. The execution of Mr.
Kulbhushan Sudhir J adhav would cause
irreparable prejudice to the rights claimed by India.
Case Concerning the Vienna Convention on
Consular Relations (Paraguay v. United States of
America), Provisional Measures, Order of 9 April
1998, !CJ Reporl.s 1 998, p .248, para 37; La Grand
(Germany v. United States of America), Provisional
Measures, Order of 3 March 1999, /CJ Reports
1 999, p . 9, para 24; Avena and Other Mexican
Nationals (Mexico v. United States of America),
Provisional Measures. Order of 5 February 2003,
!CJ Reports 2003, p. 77, para 55;
9
20. India, therefore, submits this urgent Request
for Provisional Measures to protect the life and
liberty of India's national , Mr. Kulbhushan Sudhir
Jadhav and to ensure the Court's ability to order
the relief that India seeks. Without the provisional
measures requested, Pakistan will execute J\tlr.
Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav before this Court can
consider the merits of India's claims and India ,w1ill
forever be deprived of the opportunity to vindicate
its rights. The Court's indication of provisional
measures in three prior cases supports India's
right to the relief sought.
21. As stated above, there is immense urgency in
the matter as the 40 day period expires in any
event on 19th May, and besides the appeal by the
mother already having been filed, and the court of
appeal already having been constituted, the
disposal of the appeaJ may take place any day.
III. THE ORDER REQUESTED
22. On behalf of the Government of the Republic
of India, I therefore respectfully request that,
pending final judgment in this case, the Court
indicate:
10
(a) That the Government of the Islamic Republic
of Pakistan take all measures necessary to
ensure that Mr. Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav is
not executed;
(b) That the Government of the Islamic Republic
of Pakistan report to the Court the action it has
taken in pursuance of sub-paragraph (a); and
(c) That the Government of the Islamic Republic
of Pakistan ensure that no action is taken that
might prejudice the rights of the Republic of
India or Mr. Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav \Nith
respect to any decision this Court may render on
the merits of the case.
23. In view of the extreme gravity and immediacy
of the threat that authorities in Pakistan will
execute an Indian citizen in violation of obligations
Pakistan owes to India, India respectfully urges the
Court to treat this Request as a matter of the
greatest urgency and pass an order immediately on
provisional measures suo-motu without waiting for
an oral hearing. The President is requested that
exercising his power under Article 74, paragraph 4
11
of t he Rules of Court, pending the meeting of the
Court, to direct the Parties to act in such a way as
will enable any order the Court may make on the
Request for provisional measures to have its
appropriate effects.

The request for provisional measures is of extreme urgency. Given the
lack of transparency in the entire trial process, there is a high likelihood
that Pakistani authorities may execute Indian national Kulbhushan Sudhir
Jadhav at any time ·without any notice and this eventuality would deprive
