The United Nations has expressed serious concern over India’s recent military actions on Pakistani soil, calling them a violation of the UN Charter. UN experts have urged India to respond and stressed the importance of respecting international law.
A report by UN special rapporteurs analyzed the Indo-Pak conflict, focusing on India’s May 7 Operation Sindoor. The experts criticized India’s unilateral use of force, saying it contradicts the UN Charter. They noted that Pakistan denied involvement in the Pahalgam attack and called for an impartial investigation before any military action.
Despite Pakistan’s response, India carried out strikes without formally informing the UN Security Council. The report highlighted that these attacks damaged civilian infrastructure, including mosques, and caused multiple casualties and injuries. Experts emphasized that targeting civilians violates the fundamental right to life under international law.
The UN report further noted that India did not provide evidence linking Pakistan at the state level to the Pahalgam incident. It stressed that terrorism alone cannot justify unilateral military strikes and warned that illegal use of force increases the risk of escalation in the region.
Citing Article 51 of the UN Charter, Pakistan maintains its right to self-defense if Indian actions are considered an armed attack. The report confirmed that India’s operations constitute a serious breach of Pakistan’s sovereignty and the principle of non-interference.
UN experts also reaffirmed Pakistan’s position on the Indus Waters Treaty. They warned that any interruption or threat to the water flow would affect millions and cannot be used as political or economic leverage. No country has the right to suspend the treaty unilaterally.
