Pakistan becomes chairman of the CSNU terrorism fighting committee

In a major setback for India, Pakistan was elected vice-president of the United Nations Security Council’s terrorist committee (USC) and will also chair the CSNU Taliban sanctions committee in 2025. This marks an important diplomatic victory for Islamabad on the world.

The recent development occurs as a high -level parliamentary delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari went to the United Nations headquarters in New York after the confrontation with India for the attack on Pahalgam. The situation emerged after the intervention of American president Donald Trump, leading to a ceasefire.

During their visit, the delegation presented Pakistan’s position on regional tensions, calling for compliance with international law and pleading for peaceful relations with neighboring countries.

The delegation met the UN Secretary General, the President of the General Assembly, the members of the Security Council, the OIC group ambassadors, the media representatives, the members of the civil society and the Pakistani diaspora.

Pakistan underlined the illegal actions of India, including the violations of the Charter of the United Nations and international humanitarian law, while condemning attacks against civilians in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). The delegation also rejected India’s allegations concerning the attack on April 22, stressing the lack of evidence in support of these claims.

According to the list updated the chairs of subsidiary organizations of the UNSC, Denmark will take charge of the Sanctions Committee 1267 ISIL (Da’ish) and Al-Qaida in 2025, with Russia and Sierra Leone called Vice-Presidents. Algeria will take the lead of the 1373 terrorism fighting committee, France, Pakistan and Russia serving as vice-president within the 15 members’ committee.

In addition, Pakistan will also chair the CSNU Taliban sanctions committee in 1988 in 2025.

This committee is responsible for the supervision of the implementation of sanctions, in particular asset gels, travel restrictions and arms embargoes, on individuals and groups linked to the Taliban which constitute a threat to peace and stability in Afghanistan. Guyana and Russia will serve as vice-president of the Taliban sanctions committee.

These appointments place Pakistan at the heart of global discussions and the development of policies concerning efforts to combat terrorism and regional stability. The active role of the country in these committees highlights its growing influence within the CSNU.

During the last CDSA elections held on Tuesday, five new countries – Bahrain, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Latvia and Colombia – were elected to the Council for a two -year term from January 1, 2026.
