Pakistan brings up Kashmir before the UNSC and rejects India’s application for permanent membership

 When will India no longer be allowed to participate in UN Pakistan’s permanent envoy to the UN, Ambassador Munir Akram, responded to the demand by calling it a pipe dream. A fascist state serving as a permanent member of the Security Council is not what the world wants.Islamabad wanted UN reforms, the Pakistani envoy added, but not by adding a new nation to the existing list of the five permanent UNSC members . Islamabad wants to have more non-permanent members.To ensure fair representation of the UN’s 193 member states, he stated, We want the number of non-permanent members in the Security Council to increase from the current 10 to 20-21.Only the non-permanent category of enlargement is supported by at least 30 UN members.

The United States, Great Britain, Russia, and France are the other permanent members.However, Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan want to be included in the permanent group. Brazil and South Africa asked the UN to hasten the reforms on Wednesday. However, Ambassador Akram stated that Pakistan supports the expansion of non-permanent members because it would provide all large, medium, and smaller statesu2014especially those from Africa, Asia, and Latin Americau2014a voice in the decision-making process of the United Nations. All of these countries worry about being underrepresented and not having a voice in important global problems.This will improve the balance between the five current permanent members and the non-permanent members, according to Mr. Akram.According to him, Pakistan opposed the Indian plan because it would limit prospects for the larger UN membership to be represented by adding more permanent seats. This will also result in the creation of new centres of privilege, he continued, making it even more challenging to get the Security Council to make judgments that are swift and fair. However, the Indian prime minister gave off the impression that he was keen to be accepted into the exclusive group, which would enable it to obstruct any international efforts to settle the Kashmir problem.To what date are we required to wait, he questioned the UN General Assembly. The UN needs reform, and India is waiting for that reform to take place.He emphasised to the UN that in order to remain relevant in the modern world, it needed to reform and adapt.The Security Council is the UN’s top decision-making body and the only body that has the authority to issue decisions that have legal force, like the one calling for a referendum in Kashmir. India, however, declines to carry out this binding judgement. Along with Ireland, Mexico, and Norway, India, which has previously spent seven times as a non-permanent, was re-elected in June for another two-year term.Donald Trump, the president of the United States, stated in February that he was dedicated to working with India to enhance and modernise the UN but omitted to mention New Delhi’s demand for a permanent seat.Prime Minister Imran Khan brought up the atrocities India has committed in occupied Kashmir during his Friday speech to the UNGA. He pleaded with world leaders to get India to change its plan to illegitimately annexe the seized territories on August 5, 2019. He also brought up the suffering of minorities like Indian Muslims. What do you think about this ? Share your views in the comments below .
