UNITED NATIONS:
In the midst of a high record murder of humanitarian personnel in conflict areas worldwide, Pakistan has asked the UN Security Council to drive the sanctions and legal actions against offenders.
“Impunity must end,” said Ambassador Iphtikhar Ahmad, permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN, to the Council of 15 members during a debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflicts.
“Impunity is not simply a failure of justice: it is a repetition license, he said, adding:” The appropriate, independent and impartial investigations must hold the perpetrators responsible. “
In this sense, the Pakistaní envoy urged the creation of a “global implementation board” for that resolution: it should provide a public monitoring of violations, research and its real -time results in real time and its results “so that everyone sees and continues.”
The growing attacks against humanitarian personnel are not only isolated incidents: “They reflect a growing contempt for international standards,” said the As As As, and added that it is unacceptable that those who work to provide “dignity in the midst of displacement” are “not with gratitude, but with incorporated fires.”
According to the security database of humanitarian workers, 379 humanitarian personnel were killed in 2024.
