Counsellor Muhammad Jawad Ajmal took part in an interactive dialogue with Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism in the Third Committee of the General Assembly.

He made the following important points:

➡️ As a country that has remained at the forefront of global efforts to combat terrorism, Pakistan attaches great importance to an international law-based global order that ensures protection of human rights while countering terrorism.

➡️ The definition of terrorism must be consistent with international law. We must, therefore, distinguish between terrorism and exercise of the legitimate right of people to resist foreign occupation and for exercising their inalienable right to self-determination.

➡️ We remain deeply concerned that in the conflict situations, particularly situations of foreign occupation, such as in IIOJK and Palestine, the occupying powers continue to use repressive measures to violate human rights and fundamental freedoms.

➡️ Listings of terrorist individuals and entities must not directly or indirectly discriminate on prohibited grounds, including religion.

➡️ The UNSC sanctions regimes are not fully compliant with international human rights standards and due process guarantees. These should be made more equitable and transparent, in line with human rights law.

➡️ Countries are also involved in one of the gravest violations of human rights under the pretext of counter terrorism with their extra-territorial assassination campaigns that contravene provisions of international law, raising serious concerns about state sponsored terrorism through organized criminal networks across the globe.

➡️ Organized criminal networks are involved in terror financing through anonymous transactions such as crypto currencies and virtual assets all of which must be regulated.

➡️ Organized criminal networks are also involved in illicit trade of arms and weapons, as well as drones to facilitate terrorist groups such as the TTP and BLA in our region. Such networks and their financial backers must be held to account.

➡️ We would also like to seek the views of Special Rapporteur on the methodology adopted towards the preparation of the report and next steps in the process. Oct 21 2021

Pakistan has put in place comprehensive regulatory measures to safeguard against the risks of ionizing radiation, in line with the safety principles and standards developed by the IAEA.

The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) routinely monitors radiation exposure for medical staff and patients in cancer treatment facilities, and also evaluates potential exposure of the public living near nuclear installations. The data collected from these measurements are systematically archived for analysis and future reference.

Statement by First Secretary Saad Ahmad,
During the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders,
At the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly
(20 October 2026)
*********

Mr. Chair,

Pakistan thanks the Special Rapporteur for her report and wishes her success in discharging her mandate.

2. We recognize the important contribution of human rights defenders to promoting dignity, justice and accountability. Their peaceful activities must be protected in accordance with international human rights obligations and the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders.

3. The report highlights growing threats, including intimidation, digital surveillance and attacks affecting defenders and their families. Its attention to mental health and psychosocial well-being is timely. Protection must combine prevention, access to justice and practical support tailored to those at risk.

Mr. Chair,

4. These concerns acquire particular urgency in situations of foreign occupation. Those documenting violations and advocating fundamental rights must be able to work without fear of detention, violence or reprisals.

5. Effective implementation of this mandate requires impartiality, objectivity and non-selectivity. Constructive dialogue with States, credible and verified information, and due consideration of their responses are essential to building trust and achieving results.

6. Pakistan supports stronger national protection mechanisms, capacity-building and international cooperation responsive to national needs. Particular attention should be given to women defenders and those working in remote or conflict-affected settings.

7. We ask the Special Rapporteur: what practical measures can strengthen protection and access to United Nations mechanisms for human rights defenders living under foreign occupation?

I thank you.

Rapid advances in the life and chemical sciences, increasingly converging with AI and synthetic biology, are creating novel and unpredictable risks. Science is moving faster than governance.

Our response must be balanced: preventing misuse while safeguarding the right of States Parties, particularly developing countries, to benefit fully from peaceful applications. New barriers to legitimate scientific progress and equitable access to technology must be resisted.

Pakistan remains firmly committed to the Chemical Weapons Convention and condemns the use of chemical weapons by anyone, anywhere, under any circumstances.

Divisive rhetoric, hate speech, and inter-communal tensions have continued to plague the Balkan region. These trends must not be allowed to take root and ought to be effectively curbed. We unequivocally condemn all actions directed against any people on the basis of their faith, belief or ethnicity, and hope that relevant authorities would take decisive action against such activities.

Pakistan enjoys friendly relations with Serbia and Kosovo and remains a resolute supporter of peaceful, stable and prosperous Balkans. We will continue to contribute to all efforts that ensure lasting peace and stability in the region.

The non-proliferation regime is undermined by discriminatory waivers and selective safeguards. Nowhere are these trends more dangerous than in South Asia. Our eastern neighbour continues to expand its unsafeguarded fissile material stockpiles under special cooperation arrangements. It has now deployed nuclear weapons and increased readiness of its delivery systems, despite a record of accidental launches.

Haiti continues to be plagued by a complex set of multi-dimensional challenges in political, economic, security and humanitarian domains. Given its long drawn and deep-rooted nature, these challenges require a comprehensive response- one that is Haitian led and Haitian owned. Haiti’s future and the wellbeing of its people hinge on the political choices that the leaders in Haiti would make.

Permanent sovereignty over natural resources is inseparable from the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination. Israel must cease its unlawful practices, including exploitation of Palestinian natural resources, and comply with its obligations under international law and relevant UN resolutions.

Pakistan supports full and good-faith implementation of Security Council resolution 2803, the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict and the New York Declaration.

The suffering of the Sudanese people remains immense. Civilians have borne the heaviest burden of this conflict. The somber anniversary of the El-Fasher tragedy is a grim reminder of the horrors faced by them. The atrocities committed by Rapid Support Forces in Darfur, including in El Geneina and El Fasher, and the continuing fighting in Kordofan underline the urgency of ending the conflict. All parties must respect international humanitarian law, protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and facilitate safe, rapid and sustained humanitarian access.
