Pakistan's UNSC Roles: No Direct Threat to India

Pakistan's UNSC Roles: No Direct Threat to India

Pakistan has taken on important roles in two UN committees related to counter-terrorism and sanctions.

Since Pakistan is a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, it was likely to get these positions.

These roles don't give Pakistan much power to directly harm India's interests.

While Pakistan can propose agendas and monitor sanctions, it cannot unilaterally change sanctions.

India, which previously held similar positions, need not worry about these appointments.
