UN ban on JeM chief Masood Azhar blocked by China

China on Saturday defended its second technical hold to prevent a UN ban on Pakistan-based JeM chief Masood Azhar saying there were “different views” on India’s application and that Beijing’s move will allow more time for the “relevant parties” to have consultations.

Reacting to India’s criticism that its second hold on attempts to ban Azhar sends a dangerous message, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the listing application member states submitted to the 1267 Committee of UN “must comply” with specific requirements of relevant resolutions of UN Security Council (UNSC).

Though China is the lone member among the 15-member UNSC to oppose the ban on Azhar, Beijing claims that “different views” existed about India’s application against Azhar.

Terrorism is greatest human rights violation

The Russian Ambassador to India, Alexander M Kadakin, provided the most ardent and unequivocal articulation of support for New Delhi’s stand against “trans-border terrorism” and said India “had every right” to defend itself from terrorists, who are the worst human rights violators.

In an impromptu interview with CNN-IBN television news channel as he emerged from the Indian foreign office in South Block on Tuesday, Ambassador Kadakin said the Russian Federation, in two statements made since the attacks on an Indian army camp at Uri on September 18, “plainly stated” that the “terrorists and bandits” came from Pakistan. “It was the only country which plainly said the terrorists came from Pakistan.”

“Of course, we have always been together with India in opposing and fighting cross border terrorism,” the envoy said emphatically. “We have called upon the government of Pakistan to stop this menace of trans-border terrorism from its territory,” Ambassador Kadakin said, mincing no words.
