“New Delhi: India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that “”all is not well”” at the United Nations.” Has failed to address the burning issues. He was speaking at an event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) on Friday. “He said, “”If maintaining international peace and security has become just a cosmetic thing, then the state of development and socio-economic progress is even more serious.”
Jaishankar has not given up hope from the UN. “On such a remarkable anniversary, we cannot give up hope,”” he said.” No matter how difficult, commitment to multilateralism must remain strong. No matter how many flaws there are, the United Nations must be supported in this time of crisis.”
Jaishankar cited Pakistan’s efforts to defend the terror outfit that claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack at the UN Security Council and said the global body’s work has been blocked in the absence of immediate reforms. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also criticised those who treat victims and perpetrators of terrorism as equals in the name of global strategy.
“More than the UN’s response to terrorism, some examples point more to the challenges facing the United Nations,”” Jaishankar said.” When a current member of the Security Council openly defends the same organization that claims responsibility for a barbaric terrorist attack like Pahalgam, what effect does this have on the credibility of multilateralism?”
Although Jaishankar did not directly name any country, it was clear from his remarks that he was referring to Pakistan. “Similarly, how much more cynical the world could be if the victims and perpetrators of terrorism were treated equally in the name of global strategy,”” he said.” When self-proclaimed terrorists are saved from the ban process, what can be said about the sincerity of those involved.”
The Resistance Front (TRF), a representative of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group, claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack. The UNSC report in July mentioned the TRF’s role in the Pahalgam attack. According to officials, Pakistan had attempted to remove the reference to the TRF in the UN Security Council press statement condemning the Pahalgam attack.
Pakistan is currently a member of the United Nations Security Council. In July, he was the chairman of this top global organization. The Council has 15 members, with five permanent members: China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The 10 non-permanent member states are elected by the United Nations General Assembly for a two-year term. The United Nations Security Council is chaired by each member in turn for one month.
