On United Nations Day, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar condemned human rights violations in Indian-occupied Kashmir and Israeli atrocities in Gaza, calling them a stain on global conscience. He urged the international community to uphold justice and human dignity.
Speaking on the 80th anniversary of the UN Charter, Dar said Pakistan remains committed to multilateralism and to building a peaceful, fair, and prosperous world. He stressed that Pakistan’s foreign policy is based on the principles of the UN Charter and the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah promoting peace over conflict, dialogue over isolation, and cooperation over division.
Dar highlighted Pakistan’s dedication to global peacekeeping, noting that the country has been one of the largest contributors to UN peace missions since 1960 and hosts the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP), one of the UN’s oldest missions.
He expressed deep concern over the denial of self-determination to Kashmiris and the ongoing repression in the region. Dar also called Gaza a “graveyard of humanity,” condemning the continued suffering of innocent civilians there.
As a non permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2025–26, Dar said Pakistan will continue to work as a consensus-builder and strive for justice, peace, and human dignity worldwide. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s readiness to collaborate with all UN member states to revive the UN Charter’s true promise of peace, development and equality.
