NEW YORK – Pakistan has said that the UN Security Council must end”selectivity” in implementing its resolutions, especially long-standing”disputes” such as Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UN Maleeha Lodhi made the remarks during aSecurity Council debate here last week on ‘upholding international lawwithin the context of the maintenance of international peace and security.’

“The Council needs to be more consistent and unbiased in its actions.Selectivity in implementation of its resolutions and decisions, especiallyon long-standing disputes, notably Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine mustend. There can, after all, be no peace without justice,” Lodhi said.

Lodhi and the Pakistani delegation consistently rakes up the Kashmir issuein various UN platforms.

Earlier this month, Pakistan’s delegate Masood Anwar, addressing a sessionof Committee on Information, raised the issue of Kashmir saying thatalleged human rights violations are taking place against the people ofKashmir.

India had strongly rejected Anwar’s reference to Kashmir, saying hisremarks are irrelevant to the work of the Committee.

“We have seen another attempt here today to make reference to issuesextraneous to the agenda of the Committee. We completely reject theseremarks as they have no relevance to the work of the Committee,” S SrinivasPrasad, Minister in the Indian Mission to the UN, had said.
