Kulbhushan Jadhav Case Live: Pak Says India Used World Court For 'Political Theatre'
PC: http://www.ndtv.com/
India has not approached the international court on any case related to Pakistan since 1971. The two countries last faced each other at the top UN court when the Indian Air Force shot down Pakistan's maritime aircraft Atlantique in the Kutch region in 1999. While Pakistan sought damages worth $60 million from India, a 16-judge bench voted 14-2 in India's favour after a four-day hearing.
Here are the live updates of the hearing at the International Court of Justice over the Kulbhushan Jadhav case:
Confession Was Obtained After India Sought Access: Pakistan
- We sought help with provision of evidence, but only got deafening silence
- The confession video was aired. it was plainly incorrect that video was aired after access was sought
- Consular access request would be considered in the light of response to legal assistance request
- Jadhav not tried in some Kangaroo court
- It is not acceptable to invoke jurisdiction of International Court of Justice
We will invite the court to dismiss application: Pakistan's counsel
- There is no urgency in the matter
- Jurisdiction under Vienna convention is limited by 2008 agreement
- India is urging court to not permit oral hearing. There are flaws in India's approach
- There were four stages of the trial. Pakistan made it clear that Jadhav wasn't eligible for consular access
- India has been using media to misinterpret Jadhav case
- Court not given material that was given to India on January 23 2017. It had 13 names that Jadhav had dislcosed
- Cover letter sought assistance of Indian authorities to bank account details
Pakistan wishes to live in peace with neighbours
- We have no desire to waste court's time and resources to score political parties
- Indian media reported International Court of Justice's letter as a 'stay' which it is not. This shows maneuvering
Viewers can decide if Jadhav is confessing voluntarily
- Pakistan gives 150 days after conviction
- There is no potential for writ petition of high court to be invoked
- Individuals have got relief from Pakistan courts in the past

Won't be cowed down by terrorism

Pakistan responds to India's charges at UN court in Kulbhushan Jadhav's case
May 15, 2017
14:04 (IST)
The situation is grave, it is urgent, and hence approached this court at such short notice.
Kulbhushan Jadhav was allegedly arrested in Pakistan (withing Pak territory). Pakistan did not inform India of the arrest.
ISPR (Pak army media) spokesperson stated that Mr Jadhav does not have the right to consular access. We have his statements
There have been three instances:
Plausibility context in Costa Rica vs Nicaragua case; Belgium and Senegal standard of plausibility.
In
Paraguay vs USA, the court decided that government of US was asked to
take steps to give rights of access of Paraguan national.
In Germany vs USA, court held that execution of the German national was an irreparable damage to justice.
There are multiple legal options available to Kulbhushan Jadhav.
The
execution of the death sentence cannot be done while this court is
hearing the appeal. Else, it will be a violation of the Vienna
Convention.
Pakistan has failed to provide a clear assurance that the execution will not be carried out.
Ambivalence is a good reason for indication of provisional measures.
Pakistan
has claimed overwhelming evidence of covert/spying activities. But
despite India's repeated requests, not provided a single shred of
evidence or any documentation regarding the same.
India refutes charges that Mr Jadhav was involved in espionage.
Mr Jadhav was kidnapped in Iran and his confession was extracted in military captivity,
Pak Foreign Affairs spokesperson made baseless, contrived and propaganda-driven allegations against Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Charges of Pakistan lack credibility.
Throughout his incarceration in Pakistan, Mr Jadhav has been denied consular rights.
The application filed by India bases its case on Article 1 of the Convention.
Court
has a reputation that it has granted consular access whenever a case
was heard in military court. India asserts Pakistan has not provided
consular access.
India has not been given the copy of the charges. Therefore, India is unable to comment on the allegations on Mr Jadhav.
We want appropriate legal representation for Kulbhushan Jadhav.
India
bases its claims solely on Vienna Convention. It states that any
arrested needs to be reported expeditiously to the relevant country.
This is a prima facie case of a violation of the Vienna convention.
Circumstances of Mr Jadhav's presence in Pakistan remain unexplained.
The farcical nature of the trial has destroyed any credibility Pakistan has of fair train in this case.
Graver the charges, greater the need for continued adherence of Vienna Convention.
Seriousness of the case only shows that consular access is justified.
In the circumstances, I request that provisional measure be placed that Kulbhushan Jadhav is not executed and that Pakistan takes no action that violates rights of India.
Pak May Execute Kulbhushan Jadhav Before Court Decision: India
Immediate threat to Kulbhushan Jadhav of being executed by Pak even before decision of top UN court, says India
India and Pakistan are both parties of the United Nations and thereby of the Vienna Convention.
There
is a bilateral agreement between India and Pak, which mentions the
article 36. It can only supplement the Vienna convention, not replace
it.
Dr Deepak Mittal leads the Indian delegation at the International Court of Justice
Pakistan is in violation of the Vienna Convention. Kulbhushan
Jadhav is held without getting any consular access. He now faces
execution.
Mr Jadhav has been sentenced to death by a military court in violation of rights under article 36.
Despite requests by India, Pakistan has not given any evidence or document to India.
There has been no response by Pakistan to allow Mr Jadhav's parents to visit him, despite requests.
Mr
Jadhav has not got the right to get proper legal assistance and the
right to consular access. There is an immediate threat to him to be
executed even before a decision is passed here.
India and Pakistan are both parties of the United Nations and thereby of the Vienna Convention.
There
is a bilateral agreement between India and Pak, which mentions the
article 36. It can only supplement the Vienna convention, not replace
it.
International Court of Justice:
India has asked the International Court of Justice that
Pakistan take all measures necessary to ensure Kulbhushan Jadhav is not
executed.
According to article 74, a request for provisional measure will have priority over all other requests.
The court will hear India until 11:30 am (local time). It will hear Pakistan from 3 to 3:30 PM today.
Parties
should limit themselves to only what is relevant. They should not enter
into the merits of the case than what is necessary.

Sick little boy's last miracle which is comforting his heartbroken mum after he died in her arms
PC:http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/
It's a memory any parent would happily forego, if it meant their child could live to a happy old age.
Tragically, Ruth Scully can recall exactly what the last conversation she had with her beloved young son was.
On February 7 this year, Ruth, from Maryland, said good-bye to her boy, Nolan.
Yet in spite of the battle he had to navigate, Nolan's four short years were characterised by a courage, maturity and optimism which belied his young age.
However, it's not the 18 months Nolan spent fighting which is the focus of Ruth's recent, heartbreaking tribute to her son.
Instead, she has written a heartrending and raw account of Nolan's last days, and shared it on the Facebook page dedicated to her son, Nolan Strong .
Not always easy reading at times, Ruth's objective nevertheless was to put across, "how beautiful he is. How he was made of nothing but pure love."
"When I brought Nolan to the hospital for the last time, I knew there was something else wrong other than just a lingering case of C. Diff (a bacterium that can infect the bowel and cause diarrhoea).
"I just knew, and strange enough, I think he did too. He hadn't eaten or drank anything in days and was continually vomiting."
On February 1, Ruth sat down to speak with Nolan's entire team.
"When his Oncologist spoke, I saw the pure pain in her eyes.
"She had always been honest with us and fought along side of us the whole time, but his updated CT scan showed large tumours that grew compressing his bronchial tubes and heart within four weeks of his open chest surgery."
In Ruth's own words, the cancer "was spreading like wild fire" and "had become resistant to all treatment options we had tried."
There was nothing left to be done, save for make Nolan as comfortable as possible as his condition deteriorated.
It's news no parent can ever prepare themselves to face, much less explain to their child.
"I sat down with him and put my head up against his and had the following conversation:
"Me: Poot, it hurts to breathe doesn't it
"Nolan: Well...yeah.
"Me: You're in a lot of pain aren't you, baby?
"Nolan: (looking down) Yeah.
"Me: Poot, this cancer stuff sucks. You don't have to fight anymore.
"Nolan: (Pure Happiness) I DON'T?! But I will for you Mommy!!
"Me: No Poot! Is that what you have been doing? Fighting for Mommy?
"Nolan: Well DUH!!
"Me: Nolan Ray, what is Mommy's job?
"Nolan: To keep me SAFE! (With a big grin)
"Me: Honey..I can't do that anymore here. The only way I can keep you safe is in Heaven. (My heart shattering)
"Nolan: So, I'll just go to Heaven and play until you get there! You'll come right?
"Me: Absolutely!! You can't get rid of Mommy that easy!!
"Nolan: Thank you Mommy! I'll go play with Hunter and Brylee and Henry!"
"When he woke up we had the van packed and I had his shoes in my hand to take him home for the evening.
"We just wanted ONE more night together.
"But as he woke, he gently put his hand on mine and said 'Mommy, it's ok. Let's just stay here ok?'
"My four year-old hero was trying to make sure things were easy for me...
"So in between sleeping for the next 36 hours, we played, watched YouTube, shot Nerf Gun after Nerf Gun and smiled as many times as we could.
"An hour or so before he passed he even filled out a will!
"We lay in bed together and he sketched out how he wanted his funeral, picked his pallbearers, what he wanted people to wear, wrote down what he was leaving each of us, and even wrote down what he wanted to be remembered as - which of course was a Policeman."
"I asked Nolan if I could get in the shower, as I was not allowed to leave him and Mommy had to be touching him at all times.
"He said 'Umm, OK Mommy. Have Uncle Chris come sit with me and I'll turn this way so I can see you.'
"I stood at the bathroom door, turned to him and said 'Keep looking right here, Poot, I'll be out in two seconds.'
"He smiled at me. I shut the bathroom door.
"They said the moment the bathroom door clicked he shut his eyes and went into a deep sleep, beginning the end of life passing."
"When I opened the bathroom door, his team was surrounding his bed and every head turned and looked at me with tears in their eyes.
"They said 'Ruth, he's in a deep sleep. He can't feel anything'. His respiration was extremely laboured, his right lung had collapsed and his oxygen dropped."
"I ran and jumped into bed with him and put my hand on the right side of his face.
"He woke up out of a coma to say he loved me with a smile on his face!
"My son died a hero. He brought communities together, different occupations, made a difference in people's lives all around the world.
It's a memory any parent would happily forego, if it meant their child could live to a happy old age.
Tragically, Ruth Scully can recall exactly what the last conversation she had with her beloved young son was.
On February 7 this year, Ruth, from Maryland, said good-bye to her boy, Nolan.
He was just four years old when he passed away.
Nolan had spent much of his short life battling Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer which he was diagnosed with in November 2015.Yet in spite of the battle he had to navigate, Nolan's four short years were characterised by a courage, maturity and optimism which belied his young age.
However, it's not the 18 months Nolan spent fighting which is the focus of Ruth's recent, heartbreaking tribute to her son.
Instead, she has written a heartrending and raw account of Nolan's last days, and shared it on the Facebook page dedicated to her son, Nolan Strong .
Not always easy reading at times, Ruth's objective nevertheless was to put across, "how beautiful he is. How he was made of nothing but pure love."
"This may be long, but bear with me, it's agony unlike any other."
Ruth remembers the day both she and Nolan knew their journey was coming to an end."When I brought Nolan to the hospital for the last time, I knew there was something else wrong other than just a lingering case of C. Diff (a bacterium that can infect the bowel and cause diarrhoea).
On February 1, Ruth sat down to speak with Nolan's entire team.

There was nothing left to be done, save for make Nolan as comfortable as possible as his condition deteriorated.
It's news no parent can ever prepare themselves to face, much less explain to their child.
Yet Ruth managed to compose herself and talk to Nolan about what was going to happen.
"He was sitting in 'Mommy's Red Chair' watching YouTube on his Tablet."I sat down with him and put my head up against his and had the following conversation:
"Me: Poot, it hurts to breathe doesn't it
"Nolan: Well...yeah.
"Me: You're in a lot of pain aren't you, baby?
"Nolan: (looking down) Yeah.
"Me: Poot, this cancer stuff sucks. You don't have to fight anymore.

"Me: Absolutely!! You can't get rid of Mommy that easy!!
"Nolan: Thank you Mommy! I'll go play with Hunter and Brylee and Henry!"
In the days which followed, Nolan mostly slept.
Ruth had to face another harrowing task, signing her son's Do Not Resuscitate order, something she describes saying, "I cannot explain to you what signing this order for your angelic son feels like."When he woke up we had the van packed and I had his shoes in my hand to take him home for the evening.
"We just wanted ONE more night together.
"But as he woke, he gently put his hand on mine and said 'Mommy, it's ok. Let's just stay here ok?'
"My four year-old hero was trying to make sure things were easy for me...

"We lay in bed together and he sketched out how he wanted his funeral, picked his pallbearers, what he wanted people to wear, wrote down what he was leaving each of us, and even wrote down what he wanted to be remembered as - which of course was a Policeman."
Then at 9pm, Ruth had her last conversation with her son.
"I asked Nolan if I could get in the shower, as I was not allowed to leave him and Mommy had to be touching him at all times.
"He said 'Umm, OK Mommy. Have Uncle Chris come sit with me and I'll turn this way so I can see you.'

"I ran and jumped into bed with him and put my hand on the right side of his face.
"Then a miracle I will never forget happened.
"My angel took a breath, opened his eyes, smiled at me and said 'I love you mommy', turned his head towards me and at 11:54 pm Sgt. Rollin Nolan Scully passed away as I was singing 'You are My Sunshine' in his ear."He woke up out of a coma to say he loved me with a smile on his face!
"My son died a hero. He brought communities together, different occupations, made a difference in people's lives all around the world.
PENGUINS, NASHVILLE PREDATORS, ANAHEIM DUCKS PACE PLAYOFF PACK
PC:http://garyldibertonsports.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the memories, Round 1 -- including those
Stanley Cup playoffs-record 18 overtime games and the nonstop drama. Now it's
time to contemplate the merits of the eight teams left standing for the second round, which begins on Wednesday. We sized them up in
the Playoff Power Rankings, Part II:
1. (LAST WEEK: 1) PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
The defending champions tore through a very tough Columbus Blue
Jackets team in five games without No. 1 goalie Matt Murray,
defenseman Kris Letang or
left wingers Chris Kunitz and Carl Hagelin.
The Penguins didn't need them because Evgeni Malkin was
on fire, with 11 points in five games. And 22-year-old rookie Jake Guentzel led
Pittsburgh -- and the league -- with five postseason goals. Bring on the
Capitals.
2. (5) ANAHEIM DUCKS
I'm not sure most people understand just how good the
Ducks -- who have now gone undefeated in regulation in 18 consecutive games
(15-0-3), including their impressive, first-round sweep of the Calgary
Flames -- are. I love the Ryan Kesler-Connor
McDavid matchup that awaits when Anaheim faces off against
the Edmonton
Oilers in the conference semifinals. Can Anaheim goalie John Gibson match
Edmonton's Cam Talbot, who was sensational for most of the first round? The
answer might determine who moves on to the Western Conference finals.
3. (3) NASHVILLE PREDATORS
The preseason-darling Predators became postseason
darlings after their shocking sweep of the Central Division-champion Chicago
Blackhawks. Can the St. Louis
Blues contain Nashville's big line of Ryan Johansen, Viktor
Arvidsson and Filip
Forsberg, who combined for 15 points in Round 1? Chicago couldn't.
More important, can the Blues dent a Nashville defense that allowed just three
goals to the Blackhawks?
4. (2) ST. LOUIS BLUES
The Blues were a machine while dismantling the
favored Minnesota
Wild in five games, and they get center Paul Stastny back
for Round 2. They'll need him, as the deep, battle-tested Predators should
provide a much sterner test. Once-shaky goalie Jake Allen,
who boasts a .956 save percentage and 1.47 goals-against average this
postseason, has found his groove for St. Louis.
5. (7) WASHINGTON CAPITALS
I was sorry to see the Capitals-Toronto Maple
Leafs series end. The question for the Capitals now is how
quickly they can put behind them the emotionally draining, six-game roller
coaster against Toronto and focus on Sidney Crosby and
the Penguins. My guess is they've already done so. Goalie Braden Holtby
elevated his game in Games 5 and 6 against the Leafs.
He'll have to keep up his superb play if the Caps are to move on to a
conference finals for the first time in the Alex Ovechkin era.
6. (4) EDMONTON OILERS
The youthful Oilers finished strong in the first round
after getting waxed 7-0 in Game 4 by the San Jose
Sharks. Edmonton prevailed in two close games to defeat San Jose in
six -- and win in its first playoff series since the 2006 Western Conference
finals. But Anaheim is in a class above, so Edmonton will need to see more from
McDavid, who had one short-handed goal, two assists on the power play and an
empty-netter in his first playoff series. Talbot, the first-round MVP, will
have his work cut out for him against the big, skilled Ducks lineup.
7. (11) NEW YORK RANGERS
The Rangers-Ottawa
Senators' second-round matchup is the lowest-profile series of the
four. Henrik
Lundqvist is once again The King, with a .947 save percentage,
and he'll need to keep ruling the net against a tireless, gritty Ottawa squad.
Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh is
on a mission, and left winger Rick Nash showed
flashes of his former brilliance in the Rangers' six-game set with the Montreal
Canadiens.
8. (9) OTTAWA SENATORS
It seems like no one respects the Senators. I'm pretty
sure they don't care. Both Bobby Ryan,
who had four goals and seven points, and Clarke
MacArthur, who looked just a few months ago like his career was over
because of multiple concussions, had a terrific series against the Boston Bruins.
MacArthur launched Ottawa into the second round with an OT winner in Game 6 on
Sunday. The Senators will be underdogs against the Rangers despite having
home-ice advantage. I'm pretty sure they don't care about that, either.Thermo Fisher Scientific to launch informatics offerings

Ransomware stops you from using your PC. It holds your PC or files for "ransom". This page describes what ransomware is and what it does, and provides advice on how to prevent and recover from ransomware infections.
They can target any PC users, whether it’s a home computer, endpoints in an enterprise network, or servers used by a government agency or healthcare provider.
Ransomware can:
There is no guarantee that paying the fine or doing what the ransomware tells you will give access to your PC or files again.
Lockscreen ransomware shows a full-screen message that prevents you from accessing your PC or files. It says you have to pay money (a “ransom”) to get access to your PC again.
Encryption ransomware changes your files so you can’t open them. It does this by encrypting the files – see the Details for enterprises section if you’re interested in the technologies and techniques we’ve seen.
Older versions of ransom usually claim you have done something illegal with your PC, and that you are being fined by a police force or government agency.
These claims are false. It is a scare tactic designed to make you pay the money without telling anyone who might be able to restore your PC.
Newer versions encrypt the files on your PC so you can’t access them, and then simply demand money to restore your files.
Ransomware can get on your PC from nearly any source that any other malware (including viruses) can come from. This includes:
That’s why the best solution to ransomware is to be safe on the Internet and with emails and online chat:
The sensitive files are encrypted, and large amounts of money are demanded to restore the files. Generally, the attacker has a list of file extensions or folder locations that the ransomware will target for encryption.
Due to the encryption of the files, it can be practically impossible to reverse-engineer the encryption or “crack” the files without the original encryption key – which only the attackers will have access to.
The best advice for prevention is to ensure company-confidential, sensitive, or important files are securely backed up in a remote, un-connected backup or storage facility.
OneDrive for Business can assist in backing up everyday files.
In some cases, third-party tools released by some security firms are able to decrypt files for some specifically ransomware families. See our blog FireEye and Fox-IT tool can help recover Crilock-encrypted files for an example. Tim Rains, Microsoft Director of Security, released the blog Ransomware: Understanding the risk in April 2016 that summarizes the state of ransomware and provides statistics, details, and preventative suggestions to enterprises and IT professionals: Our Threat intelligence report: Ransomware also includes suggestions on prevention and recovery, statistics, and details.
The past six months (between December 2015 and May 2016) have seen the rise of Tescrypt globally. Crowti remains near the top of the pack, as does Brolo and FakeBsod.
Reveton has also dropped down the ladder, now at 1% of the top 10 share, down from 7% for the preceding 6 months.
For the top 10 countries with the most detections, the United States takes a full half of all detections. Italy is
second, followed closely by Canada, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. After that the distribution is spread across
the globe.
The greatest detections in the US were for FakeBsod, followed by Tescrypt and Brolo. Tescrypt was also prevalent in
Italy.
FakeBsod uses a malicious piece of JavaScript code to lock your web browser and show a fake warning message when you visit a compromised or malicious webpage. The warning message tells you to “contact Microsoft technicians” about an “Error 333 Registry Failure of operating system – Host: Blue screen Error 0x0000000CE”. If you call the phone number in the message you will be asked to pay money to “fix” the issue.
An example of the fake warning message is shown in Figure 5:

However, all of them will prevent you from using your PC normally, and they will all ask you to do something before you can use your PC.They can target any PC users, whether it’s a home computer, endpoints in an enterprise network, or servers used by a government agency or healthcare provider.
Ransomware can:
- Prevent you from accessing Windows.
- Encrypt files so you can't use them.
- Stop certain apps from running (like your web browser).
There is no guarantee that paying the fine or doing what the ransomware tells you will give access to your PC or files again.
Details for home users
There are two types of ransomware – lockscreen ransomware and encryption ransomware.Lockscreen ransomware shows a full-screen message that prevents you from accessing your PC or files. It says you have to pay money (a “ransom”) to get access to your PC again.
Encryption ransomware changes your files so you can’t open them. It does this by encrypting the files – see the Details for enterprises section if you’re interested in the technologies and techniques we’ve seen.
Older versions of ransom usually claim you have done something illegal with your PC, and that you are being fined by a police force or government agency.
These claims are false. It is a scare tactic designed to make you pay the money without telling anyone who might be able to restore your PC.
Newer versions encrypt the files on your PC so you can’t access them, and then simply demand money to restore your files.
Ransomware can get on your PC from nearly any source that any other malware (including viruses) can come from. This includes:
- Visiting unsafe, suspicious, or fake websites.
- Opening emails and email attachments from people you don’t know, or that you weren’t expecting.
- Clicking on malicious or bad links in emails, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media posts, instant messenger chats, like Skype.
That’s why the best solution to ransomware is to be safe on the Internet and with emails and online chat:
- Don’t click on a link on a webpage, in an email, or in a chat message unless you absolutely trust the page or sender.
- If you’re ever unsure – don’t click it!
- Often fake emails and webpages have bad spelling, or just look unusual. Look out for strange spellings of company names (like “PayePal” instead of “PayPal”) or unusual spaces, symbols, or punctuation (like “iTunesCustomer Service” instead of “iTunes Customer Service”).
Details for enterprises and IT professionals
The number of enterprise victims being targeted by ransomware is increasing. Usually, the attackers specifically research and target a victim (similar to whale-phishing or spear-phishing – and these in fact may be techniques used to gain access to the network).The sensitive files are encrypted, and large amounts of money are demanded to restore the files. Generally, the attacker has a list of file extensions or folder locations that the ransomware will target for encryption.
Due to the encryption of the files, it can be practically impossible to reverse-engineer the encryption or “crack” the files without the original encryption key – which only the attackers will have access to.
The best advice for prevention is to ensure company-confidential, sensitive, or important files are securely backed up in a remote, un-connected backup or storage facility.
OneDrive for Business can assist in backing up everyday files.
In some cases, third-party tools released by some security firms are able to decrypt files for some specifically ransomware families. See our blog FireEye and Fox-IT tool can help recover Crilock-encrypted files for an example. Tim Rains, Microsoft Director of Security, released the blog Ransomware: Understanding the risk in April 2016 that summarizes the state of ransomware and provides statistics, details, and preventative suggestions to enterprises and IT professionals: Our Threat intelligence report: Ransomware also includes suggestions on prevention and recovery, statistics, and details.
Prevalent ransomware
Globally, ransomware continues to be a problem. In particular, we’ve seen increases in Italy and the eastern seaboard of the US.The past six months (between December 2015 and May 2016) have seen the rise of Tescrypt globally. Crowti remains near the top of the pack, as does Brolo and FakeBsod.
Reveton has also dropped down the ladder, now at 1% of the top 10 share, down from 7% for the preceding 6 months.
FakeBsod uses a malicious piece of JavaScript code to lock your web browser and show a fake warning message when you visit a compromised or malicious webpage. The warning message tells you to “contact Microsoft technicians” about an “Error 333 Registry Failure of operating system – Host: Blue screen Error 0x0000000CE”. If you call the phone number in the message you will be asked to pay money to “fix” the issue.
An example of the fake warning message is shown in Figure 5:
You can regain control of your web browser without paying anything by closing the warning message using the Task Manager.
When you reopen your browser, make sure you don't click Restore previous session.
