Pakistan Urges Un For Peacekeeper Protection And Child Rights

On February 25, 2026, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, emphasized the urgent need for the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to prioritize peace in Ukraine. He stated, "The imperative to end the agony of millions is not just a political objective, it is also a profound moral responsibility." He called for an immediate ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid, highlighting the devastating humanitarian toll of the conflict, which has resulted in thousands of lives lost and cities rendered uninhabitable. Ahmad noted that the conflict has not only disrupted peace in the region but has also sent shockwaves across the globe, particularly affecting food and energy security in the Global South. He expressed regret that previous UNSC resolutions aimed at fostering peace have remained largely unheeded, yet he remains hopeful for a breakthrough in diplomatic efforts.
