The UN's top court will rule Thursday on an urgent bid by India to stop Pakistan from carrying out a death sentence on one of its nationals convicted of spying. In an emergency hearing swiftly organised on Monday, lawyers for New Delhi had urged the International Court of Justice to halt the execution of Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav. The UN tribunal, based in The Hague, said in a statement it "will deliver its order on the request for the indication of provisional measures made by India in the Jadhav Case (India v. Pakistan), tomorrow on Thursday 18 May 2017".
