India’s election to UNSC raises fundamental questions: FO

The Foreign Office has said that India’s election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security council raises questions on the credentials of India, calling it out as a country involved in gross human rights violations.

Addressing a weekly news briefing, FO Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said, “We congratulate Ireland, Norway and Mexico on their election to the Council. However, India’s election raises fundamental questions because of the country’s atrocities against people of the occupied territory.”

Aisha Farooqui said that New Delhi does not deserve to be a member of the UNSC. She said, “The UN Charter stipulates that in discharging this responsibility, on behalf of the member states, the Council shall act in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”

Pakistan thoroughly refused to felicitate India after it was elected as a non-permanent member of the powerful UN Security Council, accusing it of violating the UN resolutions on Kashmir.

India was overwhelmingly elected as a non-permanent member of the powerful UN Security Council on Wednesday for a two-year term.

India won 184 votes out of the 192 ballots cast in the elections for the five non-permanent seats of the Security Council, the world organisation’s most powerful organ.
