The verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case has been met with a collective sigh of relief in India. The ICJ has also ordered Pakistan to review his conviction and sentence. Jadhav, a former Indian naval officer, was arrested in 2016 by Pakistani forces. Securing his release has been an Indian foreign office goal since then. While this part of the argument has been won, India still awaits the annulment of his death sentence.
