ICJ route

With diplomatic efforts to make Pakistan see reason not succeeding and the international community failing to put pressure on the country, India naturally had no option but to approach the International Court of Justice (ICJ) (“Recourse to ICJ carefully considered,” May 11). However, the ICJ order is non-binding and there is always a strong possibility that India’s move to approach the court will lead to Pakistan mimicking this strategy and attempting to internationalise the Kashmir issue.
