As Islamabad asserted that it is ready to fulfil all obligations under the international law, Pakistan on Saturday accused India of "misrepresenting" the verdict of the International Court of Justice in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
India on Thursday asked Pakistan to address the "shortcomings" in a bill brought out to facilitate reviewing the case of Jadhav, saying the proposed law does not create a mechanism to reconsider it as mandated by the ICJ.
Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi in New Delhi said the Review and Reconsideration Bill 2020 does not create a mechanism to facilitate effective review and reconsideration of Jadhav's case as mandated by the ICJ judgement. He added that municipal courts cannot be the arbiter of whether a state has fulfilled its obligations in international law.
Jadhav, a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism in April 2017.

The Palestinian Authority has cancelled a deal under which Israel was to give it at least one million Covid vaccines. The authority said the Pfizer jabs were "about to expire." Israel earlier said, it didn't need an ageing stock of vaccines and they could be used to speed up the Palestinian vaccination programme. In return, the Palestinians were to give Israel a similar number of vaccines they are expecting from Pfizer later in the year. However, when the first batch of jabs from Israel arrived, Palestinian officials said they were even nearer their expiry date than expected. About 55% of eligible Israelis have been given both doses as part of a mass vaccination campaign. Some 30% of eligible Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza have received at least one vaccine dose, according to Palestinian officials.

The United Nations General Assembly on Friday called for a stop to the flow of arms to Myanmar and urged the military to respect the elections held in Novembe

The United Nations General Assembly on Friday called for a stop to the flow of arms to Myanmar and urged the military&nbsp;to respect the elections&nbsp;held in November last year and release political prisoners including,&nbsp;leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The UNGA adopted a resolution with the support of 119 countries,&nbsp;months after the military overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government in a coup in February.&nbsp;Belarus was the only country to oppose the resolution, while 36 nations abstained from the vote, including China, India and Russia.&nbsp;
The UN resolution came after negotiations by a Core Group which includes the European Union, several Western nations and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations&nbsp;ASEAN, which includes Myanmar.
UN&nbsp;Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, "we cannot live in a world where military coups become a norm. It is totally unacceptable."

As the world deals with the Delta Covid-19 variant, the World Health Organisation on Friday designated another variant, labelled as 'Lambda', as a 'Variant of Interest' (VOI).
WHO in it's weekly bulletin said that the Lambda variant was initially detected in Peru in August 2020 and has since been reported in 29 nations around the world, mostly in Latin America, including Argentina and Chile.
The global health body said that the Lambda variant has been monitored "as an alert for an extended period", and has been associated with "substantive rates of community transmission" in multiple countries.
The WHO bulletin, however, also added that there is currently "limited evidence" on the full extent of the impact associated with this variant, and "robust studies need to be conducted into the phenotypic impacts to formulate a plan on countermeasures.

27 nations of the European Union on Wednesday decided to allow United States residents to travel into their countries for non-essential purposes, essentially opening the summer vacation season.
Along with opening up the gigantic US market to tourism this summer, the EU added five other nations to their list of approved countries for non-essential travel as Covid cases decline in the region. The EU will soon be lifting restrictions they currently have for countries like Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Australia. However India is still on the restricted list.
Any traveler travelling to the EU will have to furnish results from a negative Covid-19 test or quarantine on arrival, if they choose. Seven countries in Europe, including Greece, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany and Poland, launched the digital vaccine certificate, also called the Green passport the first week of June, allowing all vaccinated travelers and those presenting evidence of a negative Covid test or antibodies to enter their nations for nonessential purposes.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his government to be prepared for both dialogue and confrontation with the Biden administration - but more for confrontation, state media reported on Friday. The order comes days after the United States and others urged North Korea to abandon its nuclear program and return to talks.
Experts say, Kim's statement indicates he'll likely push to strengthen his nuclear arsenal and increase pressure on Washington to give up what North Korea considers a hostile U.S. policy, though he'll also prepare for talks to resume.
During an ongoing ruling party meeting Thursday, Kim analysed in detail the policy tendencies of the U.S. under President Joe Biden and clarified unspecified steps to be taken in relations with Washington.
Kim "stressed the need to get prepared for both dialogue and confrontation, especially to get fully prepared for confrontation in order to protect the dignity of our state and its interests for independent development and to reliably guarantee the peaceful environment and the security of our state."
In 2018-19, Kim held a series of summits with then-President Donald Trump to discuss his advancing nuclear arsenal. But their negotiations fell apart after Trump rejected Kim's calls for extensive sanctions relief in return for a partial surrender of his nuclear capability. Biden's administration has worked to formulate a new approach on North Korea's nuclear program that it describes as "calibrated and practical."

Israel will provide around one million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to the Palestinian Authority ahead of their expiry, the Israeli prime minister's office said on Friday.

Israel will provide around one million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to the Palestinian Authority ahead of their expiry, the Israeli prime minister's office said on Friday.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's office in a joint statement with the defence and health ministries said, the vaccines are being sent under a sharing deal with Palestine, to boost the vaccination campaign in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Under the terms of the deal, Israel will receive in return a reciprocal number of doses of the Pfizer vaccine from the Palestinian Authority, later this year.
Around 55% of eligible Israelis are fully vaccinated - a turnout largely unchanged by this month's expansion of eligibility to include 12- to 15-year-olds.
Some 30% of eligible Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have received at least one vaccine dose, according to Palestinian officials.
The Palestinians have received vaccine doses from Israel, Russia, China, the United Arab Emirates and the global COVAX vaccine-sharing initiative.

In a historic move, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has nominated the first judge of colour to sit on the country's supreme court. Canada's top court has only had white justices in its 146-year existence.
Trudeau has nominated Mahmud Jamal, who has been a judge on Ontario&rsquo;s court of appeal since 2019 and will replace Justice Rosalie Abella. Trained as a lawyer, he appeared in 35 appeals before the Supreme Court of Canada on civil, constitutional, criminal, and regulatory issues.
Jamal was born in 1967 into an Indian family in Nairobi and raised in Britain before moving to Canada in 1981.
In a tweet, Trudeau said, &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll be a valuable asset to the supreme court - and that&rsquo;s why, today, I&rsquo;m announcing his historic nomination to our country&rsquo;s highest court&rdquo;.

Autistic Pride Day is observed each year on June 18 to respect the rights of people with autism. Autistic people are often subject to human rights violations, discrimination and stigma. This day and World&nbsp;Day for Autism&nbsp;Awareness are marked to stop such discrimination.
Autism begins during <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/childhood-trauma-linked-with-heart-disease-in-middle-age-study-1588250670848" target="_blank">childhood</a> and tends to persist into adolescence and adulthood. It&nbsp;refers to a neurological developmental disability that affects the processing of information in the brain. It also affects communication and the ability to interact socially. The causes of this disorder are not fully understood and the effect it has on people varies, as its symptoms and characteristics appear in a variety of combinations.
The first Autistic Pride Day was celebrated in Brazil in the year 2005. The day was hosted by an organisation named Aspies for Freedom (AFF). The people who started this were autistic themselves. This day&nbsp;is&nbsp;represented&nbsp;by&nbsp;a rainbow infinity symbol&nbsp;that signifies the diversity&nbsp;of autistic people and the&nbsp;infinite possibilities&nbsp;and&nbsp;variations&nbsp;within the autistic community.

Residents of Australia's Victoria state are literally caught in a web. Days after a massive storm, the East Gippsland town in Victoria is covered under giant spiderwebs

Residents of Australia's Victoria state are literally caught in a web. Days after a massive storm, the East Gippsland town in Victoria is covered under giant spiderwebs. The vast sheets of spiderwebs cover the roadside, poles, road signs, trees, plants, and everything that is tall or high. The huge webs looks almost like transparent&nbsp;nets covering grasslands. The spiders wove these elaborate webs in a bid to move to higher ground to escape the wrath of the floodwaters and damage to their homes in low areas. According to a BBC report, experts say the webs are created by a survival tactic known as &ldquo;ballooning&rdquo;, where spiders throw out silk to climb to higher ground.
