Pakistan has accused India of a ‘blatant breach of international obligations’ at the United Nations, contending that New Delhi’s unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty amounts to the weaponisation of water and endangers regional peace and security.
Speaking at a High-Level Open Debate of the UN Security Council, Pakistan”s Permanent Representative, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, asserted that the action threatens the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, according to a report by MOIB today.
The Ambassador emphasised that treaty compliance is a cornerstone of the international legal order, affirming that Pakistan rejects the use of natural resources as a coercive tool.
During his address, Mr Ahmad also highlighted the Kashmir issue, stating that the continued denial of the right to self-determination for the Kashmiri people carries grave human rights consequences and imperils durable peace in the region.
He called upon the Security Council to devise effective mechanisms to systematically monitor the implementation of its own resolutions and to take decisive action in cases of persistent non-compliance.
The representative remarked that attempts to normalise unilateral actions outside the framework of the UN Charter undermine collective security and weaken the credibility of multilateral institutions, reiterating Pakistan”s commitment to a rules-based international order where disputes are resolved peacefully.
