Reaffirming Pakistan’s stance, the United Nations’ experts have raised strong objections on India’s unilateral actions of May 7 inside Pakistan, asserting that the use of force by New Delhi violated the principles of the United Nations Charter, according to a recent report.
In the report cited by Radio Pakistan, the UN human rights experts said that Indian attacks targeted civilian areas, mosques were affected and several civilians were killed and wounded.
The UN experts further pointed out that New Delhi failed to provide credible evidence that Pakistan was involved in the Pahalgam attack and stressed that there is no recognised right for unilateral military force under the pretext of counterterrorism.
The report refers to the four-day armed conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours after India carried out unlawful strikes inside Pakistan, which resulted in the martyrdom of several civilians and security personnel.
Pakistan, in addition to downing multiple Indian fighter jets, then launched a retaliatory strikes under “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos”, targeting over 20 Indian military sites across multiple regions.
The hostilities ended on May 10 after the two countries agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire agreement.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
