‘Unprovoked attacks, treaty breaches’: Pakistan highlights Indian violations at UN Security Council

0 January 27, 2026 05:26

A senior Pakistani diplomat has told the UN Security Council (UNSC) that erosion of respect for international law is increasingly translating into conflict, as he drew attention to India’s “unprovoked” attack against Pakistan last May, the denial of the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination and New Delhi’s unilateral suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) between the two neighbours.

“The core principles of the UN Charter — sovereign equality, non-interference, political independence and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the threat or use of force and self-determination — are being increasingly challenged,” Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said in a debate ‘Reaffirming International Rule of Law’ on Monday.
