ADVERTISINGThe dispute revolves around the fate of Jadhav, a former officer in the Indian navy who was arrested in March 2016 in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan. There has been a long-running conflict in Baluchistan between Pakistani security forces and a militant separatist movement. In April, a Pakistani military court sentenced him to death. Pakistan has described India's decision to take its case to the UN court as "political theatre". The Vienna Convention has been a frequent subject of disputes at the ICJ, often in cases involving the United States.
