Pak-China Axis vis-a-vis ICJ Order 

Nidhu Bhusan Das

 It is difficult to tame insolence,more so if it is propped by one with institutional capacity to exercise distinct unbridled Power to protect and promote the interest of the insolent to trample and rampage the values that civilized society cherishes.So,it is not to be construed as cynical and pessimistic if some tend to harbour doubt that the stay ordered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the execution of Mr.Kulbhushan Jadav,an Indian national,may not be honoured as Pakistan in no uncertain terms dares the ICJ on the issue of jurisdiction soon after the pronouncement of judicial arm of the UN the Charter of which arms the Big Five in the Security Council with the Veto Power which is overriding.Depending on precedents Pakistan may flout the verdict as did the USA.
Islamabad can reasonably count on the unflinching support of its time-tested friend and benefactor China for any malevolent action against Mr. Jadav and for that matter against India.Islamabad may ignore the ICJ if they get assurance and ,thus, encouragement from Beijing. Beijing has the record of supporting Pakistan's Genocide in East Pakistan when it was declared Independent on 26 March 1971,and Soviet Union supported the War of Independence of Bangladesh.Once China dubbed the Foreign Policy of now defunct Soviet Union as Social Imperialism and now Moscow is close to Beijing.One can well judge what constitutes imperialistic design considering China’s sure footed strides towards fulfilling its desire for expansion of the sphere of influence on land and sea ignoring the interests and rights of the countries in the vicinity. Pakistan may carry out the execution of the death sentence awarded to hapless Kulbhushan by the Military Court which appears to be nothing but a Kangaroo Court. Such desperate and dangerous possibility can be averted only if good sense prevails in the omnipotent military authorities of Pakistan and monolithic power structure in Beijing.
