In a major setback for India, Pakistan has been elected vice-chair of the United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) Counter-Terrorism Committee and will also chair the UNSC’s 1988 Taliban Sanctions Committee in 2025. This marks a significant diplomatic victory for Islamabad on the global stage.
The recent development comes as a high-level parliamentary delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited the United Nations Headquarters in New York following the confrontation with India over the Pahalgam attack. The situation de-escalated after US President Donald Trump’s intervention, leading to a ceasefire.
These appointments place Pakistan at the heart of global discussions and policymaking concerning counterterrorism efforts and regional stability. The country’s active role in these committees highlights its increasing influence within the UNSC.

It’s just some karmic justice for India for their support of Russia.

The UN apparently wants to go the way of the League of Nations.

Vice-chair, a position shared by 3 countries. Chair is Algeria. In a body of 15. Shit’s funny, ngl, but Pakistan definitely has more to contribute than Korea or Denmark. When they want to, that is.

Not anymore disappointing that your run of the mill brutal dictatorial regime in the UN Human Rights Committee.
The UN is not a beacon of morality, is an open forum to discuss things between more times than not conflicting parties.
The UN has done a disservice to itself trying to paint an image it’s not up to the task even if looked useful for trying to influence people’s worldview as hipocrisy is a very fast way to lose credibility.

Hahahahaha. Oh that’s too good. Way to live up to your expectations UN. It’s such a worthless organization anymore, but hey this will be a good chance for whomever is assigned to be Pakistan’s ambassador in that position to line their pockets more. Graft and corruption is all the UN is good at after all.

The United Nations is a joke. I guess it’s been one for a while? But like this has to solidify it as a joke.
I guess if it keeps us all from dying in a nuclear holocaust then whatever.

Things like this will keep happening if India can’t honestly analyze where they went wrong and change course. Saying the world is in on a Chinese & Pakistani conspiracy to harm India when the West wants to build up India to counter China is delusional and self-harming.
Ultimately, India should have presented evidence of Pakistani state involvement if they had it & caught the terrorists. Launching strikes on accusations was an affront to world institutions and so the UN & World Bank have moved forward with their existing agreements with Pakistan.

Despite its reputation, Pakistan does have a very good track record running counter-terrorist ops. Operation Zarb-e-Azab cleaned out lawless north western frontiers and was integrated with the country proper. The TTP driven out to Afghanistan.

When Saudi Arabia was elected chair of Human Rights Commission, I lost all faith in UN. It is dead to me. We may as well dissolve the UN.
