Pakistan calls for revival of int’l consensus on disarmament, non-proliferation agenda

ISLAMABAD, Jun 30 (APP):Pakistan on Tuesday, at the premier international body in Geneva mandated to negotiate treaties on nuclear disarmament, called for revival of global consensus in the face of growing risks to the world peace.

Speaking at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Ambassador Khalil Hashmi drew attention to the impact of these dangers on security and stability in South Asia.

Highlighting the drivers of turbulence and instability in the region, Ambassador Hashmi noted India’s continued policy pursuit of hegemony, coercion and aggressive military doctrines, shaped by the toxic mindset of its ruling party, according to a message received here from Geneva.

The Ambassador underscored that lack of India’s accountability for its persistent defiance of international law had emboldened it to terrorize Kashmiris with impunity and browbeat its neighbours.

The Permanent Representative shared Pakistan’s deep concern over ways in which India’s incendiary and irresponsible rhetoric from the highest level, combined with its massive accumulation of advanced weaponry, could imperil regional peace and security.

Pakistan’s Ambassador also presented an 11-point agenda for reviving global consensus on arms-control, disarmament and non-proliferation.

These proposals inter alia included re-commitment to faithfully uphold the principles of the UN Charter and international law and fulfillment of existing international obligations by all states.

The Ambassador emphasized that maintaining the integrity of the global rules-based order and multilateralism was essential through demonstrable adherence to the rule of law.
