United Nations, March 7 : Pakistan is attempting to turn the UN’s counter-terrorism efforts into justification for terrorism.
During the negotiations on a resolution on Global Counter Terrorism Review, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Munir Akram said on Friday that the resolution should focus on justifications for terrorism and “elaborate on the root causes of terrorism including, but not limited to, prolonged unresolved conflicts, foreign occupation, and denial of the right to self-determination, xenophobia and Islamophobia”.
Instead of outrightly condemning terrorism and demanding an end to support for terrorists, his proposal would offer justification for terrorism.
