'Why Pakistan still part of UNHRC?': European think-tank exposes terrorism & atrocities

On Thursday, Imran Khan's 'Naya' Pakistan was once again humiliated on an international platform for failing to act against terrorism and supporting it. Veronica Ekelund, Research Analyst at European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS), speaking at 18th Meeting of 45th Session of United Nations Human Rights Commission said stated several instances of Pakistan mitting to protect terrorists on its terrorists.

'Why is Pakistan still a member of this council?'

"Respect for Human Rights is universal and paramount and it applies to all countries including Pakistan. Terrorism inherently undermines promotion and protection of Human Rights. Talking to CNN in February 2019, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi mitted that UN-designated terrorist and chief of Jaish-e-Mohamm Masood Azhar resides in Pakistan. To BBC in March 2019, Mr Qureshi confessed that his government and Jaish-e-Mohamm maintained official contact," she said.

"In July 2019, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan told US Institute of Peace in Washington that his country hosts 40,000 terrorists. In June 2020, Imran Khan referred to Al-Queda leer Osama Bin Len as a martyr in country's Parliament. Last month, Pakistan's Minister of Foreign Affairs ackwledged presence of UN-designated terrorist Dawood Ibrahim on its territory," she ded.
