What is India's stance on Pakistan's role in global terrorism according to Ambassador P. Harish?
According to Ambassador P. Harish at the UN Security Council, Pakistan serves as the global epicenter of terrorism, harboring more than 20 UN-listed terrorist entities while promoting cross-border terrorism. His statement highlights the irony of Pakistan's self-proclaimed role in fighting terrorism while actually supporting it. During the open debate on multilateralism and global governance, Harish called out Pakistan's duplicitous stance, emphasizing that despite Islamabad's claims of fighting terrorism, the country continues to provide state support for terrorist activities across borders. This strong condemnation reflects India's firm position on Pakistan's involvement in terrorist activities.

What makes Pakistan's recent Kashmir rhetoric at the UN Security Council significant?
Pakistan's Kashmir rhetoric at the UN Security Council is particularly significant now because Pakistan has become a non-permanent member of the UNSC for a two-year period, having taken charge on January 1st this year. This position provides Pakistan with a formal platform to raise the Kashmir issue internationally. According to Assistant Editor for Foreign Affairs Siddhant Sebald, this isn't the first time India has criticized Pakistan for raising Kashmir at the UN, but Pakistan's current UNSC membership makes this instance unique. Sebald warns to expect increased attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue over the next few years as Pakistan leverages its temporary Security Council position.
