Pakistan and China co-organised an informal meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), providing a platform for the member states to discuss how the council “can ensure the full, effective and non-selective implementation of its resolutions,” the Foreign Office (FO) said on Thursday.
UN Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari, UNSC Report Executive Director Shamala Kandiah and Richard Gowan of the International Crisis Group briefed the meeting held on Tuesday.
They “emphasised that implementation lies at the heart of the Council’s credibility, authority and effectiveness”, the FO said.
The speakers stressed that UN resolutions must be accompanied by “realistic mandates, clear implementation pathways, sustained reporting, adequate resources, political will and follow-up mechanisms” that can translate the resolutions into practical action on the ground.
Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, who serves in the UN as the permanent representative of Pakistan, added that UNSC resolutions are legal obligations under the UN charter.
“He underscored that selective or prolonged non-implementation weakens the Council’s authority, prolongs unresolved disputes and deepens human suffering, including in situations such as Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine,” the FO said.
The ambassador said that non-implementation of UN resolutions on the Jammu and Kashmir issue has led to the conflict remaining unresolved and caused prolonged human suffering for the Kashmiri people.
In the meeting, “Pakistan also proposed practical measures, including an annual review of unimplemented and partially implemented resolutions, clearer implementation pathways, stronger follow-up”, as well as better alignment of peace operations and regional arrangements with council decisions.
The FO further said that the council members and UN members participating in the meeting welcomed the initiative by China and Pakistan, sharing “concrete perspectives on strengthening the implementation of Security Council resolutions across country-specific and thematic situations”.
The member states stressed that the UNSC’s decisions should be realistic, actionable and supported by sustained diplomacy, calling for regular reviews, timely reporting and adequate resources.
“By jointly convening this timely discussion, China and Pakistan reaffirmed their shared commitment to multilateralism, the authority of the Security Council, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter,” the FO noted. ...
