As Pakistan’s presidency of the UN Security Council nears its end, it plans an open debate on unresolved global disputes, subtly aiming to spotlight the Kashmir issue without naming it directly. Deputy PM Ishaq Dar will chair the July 22 session, with UN Secretary-General António Guterres expected to brief. Pakistan seeks a resolution invoking Chapter VI of the UN Charter, promoting peaceful conflict resolution. The move avoids direct mention of Jammu and Kashmir to prevent vetoes, as only China supports Pakistan’s stance. A second event will promote UN-OIC cooperation, reinforcing Islamabad’s Kashmir narrative. Critics view this as a strategic back-door push to internationalize the issue. (PC: Reuters)
