Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, contacted top UN leaders and informed them of India’s multiple missile attacks across parts of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir in “gross violation” of the country’s sovereignty and international law.
According to a press release of the Pakistani Mission, Ambassador Asim, acting on instructions from Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, apprised the presidents of the Security Council and General Assembly, as well as the Secretary-General, about India’s “blatant aggression” that endangered international peace and security.
“UNSC has been informed that Pakistan reserves the right to respond appropriately to this aggression at a time and place of its choosing, by its right to self-defence as enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter,” the press release added.
