13 Out Of 15 UNSC Members Back India: Pahalgam Attack

13 Out Of 15

Only China and Pakistan oppose New Delhi’s bid to raise the issue of cross-border terrorism within the UNSC

According to a CNN-News18 report, India has garnered the backing of 13 out of the 15 UNSC member nations on cross-border terrorism. Only China and Pakistan have opposed New Delhi.

This diplomatic effort reinforces India’s long-held position that terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) receive support from Pakistan’s military and intelligence services. Should the UNSC discussion proceed, it is anticipated to underscore the increasing frequency and complexity of cross-border attacks, exemplified by the Pahalgam incident, which was initially claimed by The Resistance Front, a proxy of LeT, before being retracted. Indian intelligence has established a direct connection between the attack and operatives across the Line of Control.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is attempting to counter this narrative at the UNSC. A statement from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicates that Islamabad will formally present its case. Pakistan alleges that India’s actions, provocations, and inflammatory statements pose a significant threat to both regional and global peace.

Additionally, Pakistan intends to address India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. It is labeling it as an unlawful and unilateral action that violates international obligations. Pakistan is calling on the UNSC to fulfill its primary responsibility in addressing these issues.

India’s recent move at the UN Security Council, arises from its past advocacy for global counterterrorism consensus. It now focuses on formalizing discussions on Pakistan-sponsored terror.

India has garnered the backing of 13 out of 15 members of the UN Security Council, including influential representatives. This includes members from both the West and the Global South. India is effectively sidelining Pakistan while simultaneously establishing itself as a credible global player.

To sidestep a direct clash with China, a permanent member and ally of Pakistan, India is likely to have a friendly nation formally address the issue, adhering to UNSC procedural standards. Historically, China has obstructed discussions on Kashmir by referencing the Shimla Agreement and advocating for bilateral resolution.
