Use of Security Council against Pakistan

 

Pakistan has condemned the allegations made by the Afghan envoy against Pakistan at the Indian-led Security Council meeting. Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said the Security Council platform was used for propaganda against Pakistan. Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram, in a letter to the President of the Security Council, recorded the protest and said that Pakistan had been treated unfairly by failing to respond to the allegations made by the Afghan envoy. It considered decisions such as the deployment of peacekeepers for an armed conflict, the imposition and removal of trade, financial or defense sanctions on a state, and the fight against a state that threatens international peace in defiance of Security Council directives.

Five permanent and 10 non-permanent members are by majority vote. India has been a non-permanent member of the Security Council for two years. Under Security Council rules, the presidency is assigned to another country each month. Thus, throughout the year, the presidents of the Security Council change on a monthly basis. Pakistan respects the fact that India is the President of the Security Council. It is a sign of Pakistan's adherence to international norms and good behavior. As soon as he takes over the presidency of the Security Council, the Indian envoy has been given various powers. As President, he has the right to approve the points on the Security Council's agenda.

 Although they receive recommendations from the Secretary-General, the President has the authority to set the final agenda. The President of the Security Council has the legal authority to do so even if he does not want any particular issue to be included in the agenda, but in keeping with international diplomatic and political tradition, Biased sadly, in the first week of his tenure, India's envoys have begun to appear biased. At a recent Security Council meeting, the Afghan envoy accused Pakistan of being involved in destabilizing his country. The Afghan envoy also accused Pakistan of supporting the Taliban. Pakistan wrote a letter to the President of the Security Council asking him to attend the meeting and respond to the allegations made by the Afghan envoy. Pakistan's response to the allegations against it was in line with UN principles and traditions, but the Indian envoy to the Security Council rejected the request and gave Afghanistan a chance to take action against Pakistan and continue baseless and one-sided allegations.

Of course, there is a danger that Pakistan's credibility and status will be affected by the unilateral approach to the international community interested in the Security Council's action, which could be blamed on the President of the Security Council, who deliberately he made the international organization a source of propaganda against a peace loving country like Pakistan. Pakistan has made great sacrifices for peace in Afghanistan. Pakistan helped the Afghan people in every way to save them from the Soviet Union. When the United States imposed the war on terror, Pakistan was the only country to face a cut in aid and a number of financial problems. At that time, India sided with the US invading Afghanistan. Indian pilots continue to bomb Afghan civilians. India has hatched a nefarious plan to sour war-torn Afghanistan's relations with neighboring Pakistan. India launched sabotage operations in Pakistan through its consulates. Ignoring the people of Afghanistan, the United States first elected Hamid Karzai and then Ashraf Ghani as president. These two gentlemen do not represent the Afghan people, so to date no credible electoral system has been formed in Afghanistan.

Representatives of the unelected government, deprived of the support of the Afghan people, are deliberately not acknowledging Pakistan's sacrifices. Deprived of public support since the US withdrawal, the Afghan government has been confined to Kabul and a handful of other areas, with the Taliban occupying all other areas. Pakistan arranged talks between the United States and the Taliban. He persuaded the Taliban to hold intra-Afghan talks with the Afghan government and other groups. Remember that these are all services that the Ashraf Ghani government and its international supporters are incapable of performing. Had Pakistan not played this role, Afghanistan would still be a battleground for foreign forces. India's problem is that it fears that pro-Pakistan forces will become stronger in Afghanistan in the form of the Taliban. This fear has made him so anxious that he is ready to stake his responsible position. The permanent members of the Security Council and the Secretary-General must take into account Pakistan's position and prevent India from harming Pakistan by taking advantage of its position in the Security Council.
