THE HAGUE, Netherlands — India accused Pakistan of an “egregious” rights breach of an alleged spy who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court, in a case Monday at the U.N.’s highest court that has exacerbated tensions between the longtime rivals. Pakistani officials say he has been linked to 1,345 deaths in acts of terrorism in Pakistan, making secret trips to the country from Iran. He was convicted in Pakistan by a military tribunal and sentenced to death in April 2017. The U.N. court last year ordered Pakistan not to execute him pending the outcome of the case in The Hague. Pakistan lawyers are to set out their case on Tuesday.
