  • The Possibility of an Article 102 Sanction in Jadhav
    TO REGISTER OR NOT TO REGISTER? THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ARTICLE 102 SANCTION IN JADHAV * BEAU BETTIGA ABSTRACT This paper argues that Bilateral Agreement on Consular Access between India and Pakistan is a legal, binding treaty, but, since the treaty was not registered with the United Nations by the initiation of Jadhav, Article 102 of the United Nations Charter directly governs the treaty. According to Article 102(2), nonregistered agreements are sanctioned by being unable to be invoked before any organ of the United Nations. Under this provision, the Bilateral Agreement should not be considered by the International Court of Justice. The paper concludes, however, that the International Court of Justice, due to the lax adherence to Article 102 in previous International Court of Justice cases, will most likely decide that Pakistan’s belated registration of the Bilateral Agreement on Consular Access is valid, allowing the International Court of Justice to maintain jurisdiction over Jadhav.

  • India-Pakistan Relations India Desires Peaceful, Friendly and Cooperative
    India-Pakistan Relations India desires peaceful, friendly and cooperative relations with Pakistan, in an environment free from terrorism and violence. Terrorism emanating from Pakistan and territory under its control has, however, severely limited and disrupted initiatives to build a stable relationship. Indian Policy on Pakistan is as follows: a) Issues can be resolved through dialogue; b) There are only two parties to such dialogue-India and Pakistan; c) However, terror and talks cannot go together. 2. After securing a clear majority in the General Elections to the 16thLok Sabha, the PM-designate Shri Narendra Modi on May 21, 2014 invited Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and other SAARC leaders to attend the swearing-in of the new Union Council of Ministers in New Delhi. Accompanied by his Advisor on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi and Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhury, Prime Minister Mr. Nawaz Sharif visited New Delhi on May 26-27, 2014. He attended the oath-taking ceremony at RashtrapatiBhavan (President’s House) on May 26 evening and held a bilateral meeting with PM on May 27. In the meeting, PM underlined our concerns relating to terrorism and stressed the need to ensure speedy progress of the Mumbai terror attack trial underway in Pakistan and the conviction of those responsible. PM expressed his hope that India-Pakistan relations would progress in the economic, commercial, cultural and political fields in the same manner that India’s relations with its other SAARC neighbours have progressed in recent years. The two leaders agreed that the Foreign Secretaries will remain in touch and explore how to move forward.

  • Election 2007 and Likely Outcomes
    B0519-43 POLICY BRIEF May 6, 2019 In this Issue War to Lawfare: Spotlighting the India-Pakistan Conflict By Professor Sikander Ahmed Shah and Professor Uzair J. Kayani ATIVE Introduction Lawfare, or the use of legal fora and devices for military and diplomatic advantage, has become a critical component of South Asia’s dynamic conflict landscape. In the context of the India- Pakistan conflict, this policy brief examines India’s efforts to instrumentalise a policy of INITI “lawfare” designed to support military action against Pakistan, supporting state-sponsored terrorism, ratcheting up armed oppression of Kashmiri civilians, and pushing for Islamabad’s diplomatic isolation. Meanwhile, Pakistan, with a virtually nonexistent international law team, continues to remain politically passive, reacting to strategic “issue-framing” by India. As of this writing, the brutal murder of bus passengers travelling along the Makran coast by Baloch separatists has thrown this shortcoming into sharp relief. This brief underscores the urgent need for Pakistan to update and employ the forums it uses to highlight these acts as state- sponsored terrorism.1 Both the UN and the OIC must be utilised effectively to spotlight Indian activities in Balochistan. Legal arguments should be built and deployed as soon as possible. It concludes with some recommendations that will enable Pakistan to become more proactive in using legal devices to counter India when necessary. Section 1: Lawfare for Military Ends On April 7, 2019, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister summoned a press conference to suggest India was planning another attack on Pakistan in the third week of that month. The attack, it was believed, would take place between April 16 to 20, and that it would be preceded by another ‘Pulwama’ style false flag operation in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
