Pakistan has called for comprehensive global counter-terrorism reforms. Making a statement at the sixth committee of the UN General Assembly in New York, Pakistan's Acting Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Usman Jadoon, regretted that insufficient progress has been made in addressing the evolving and diverse forms of terrorism. He emphasized Pakistan's role in the fight against terrorism, noting its key contribution in dismantling Al-Qaeda and the significant sacrifices it made, with 80,000 casualties suffered in the war on terror. However, he raised concerns about state-sponsored terrorism from across Pakistan's borders, highlighting threats posed by groups like the TTP, Daesh, and the Majeed Brigade. He urged the international community to ensure that counter-terrorism measures are not misused to violate human rights and international humanitarian law, as is occurring in occupied Palestine and Jammu and Kashmir.
