PM Imran reaffirms Pakistan’s commitment to supporting UN objectives

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to supporting the United Nations in the shared objectives of maintaining international peace and protecting human rights for all.

In his message on the 75th anniversary of the UN, Imran said Pakistan will continue to play a leading role in the UN for peaceful settlement of international disputes and developing friendly relations among other countries based on the principle of equal rights and self-determination of people, as enshrined in the UN Charter.

The premier maintained that Pakistan is proud to play its part in upholding universal values to protect and safeguard human rights and fundamental freedom for all.

He paid tribute to peacekeepers who are ready to serve in the most conflict-ridden areas to maintain peace and security across the globe.

"It is gratifying that Pakistan has played a critical role in preserving international peace and security, through its contribution of ‘blue helmets’ to the UN Peacekeeping Missions all around the world.," said the premier in his message.

The 75th anniversary is a reminder of the unresolved Kashmir dispute, despite being on the UN's agenda for over seven decades, the premier said.

Urging the international community, particularly the Security Council, the prime minister asked the world body to implement UNSC resolutions to end the human rights violation by Indian armed forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).

"The United Nations faces many challenges amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We are witnessing rise of ultra-nationalist, populist, xenophobic and Islamophobic tendencies. At the same time, international law and agreements are being flouted or set aside. Trade barriers are being imposed and the pandemic is being ‘politicized’."

Since August 5, 2019, Indian forces have imposed draconian restrictions on freedom of movement and communication.

"I also reaffirm Pakistan’s abiding commitment to multilateralism. Pakistan would continue to play a leading role in the United Nations for peaceful settlement of international disputes and developing friendly relations among nations based on the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, as enshrined in the UN Charter," said the prime minister.
