United Nations: China on Wednesday hit out at the United States Security Council to delay a proposal by the US and India to ban a top commander in the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist group. India and the US wanted Abdul Rauf Azhar to be banned from global travel and to freeze his assets. Such a move must be agreed upon by all 15 members of the Security Council’s sanctions committee.
According to the news agency Reuters news, a spokesman for China’s mission to the United Nations said that ‘we have stopped because more time is needed to study the matter. Time is given in such cases as per the guidelines of the United Nations Committee. A similar time has been given several times on the requests made by the members of the committee.
China’s nefarious move again hinders India-US attempt to ban Pakistani terrorist
In 2010, the US Treasury Department accused terrorist Azhar of involvement in terrorist activities and carrying out suicide attacks in India. A spokesman for the US mission to the United Nations said on Wednesday that the US respects other countries. Yet it needs to be proved that a sanctions resolution is implemented in accordance with the rules of the list in the United Nations. The spokesman said the US values cooperation with its Security Council partners. So that this measure of sanctions can be effectively used to prevent the attempts of terrorists to damage the global order with their wrongdoings.
