Pakistan presses UN over Gaza ceasefire violations, statehood

At the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee in New York, Pakistan’s envoy linked full implementation of Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration to Palestinian territorial integrity and a workable path to statehood.

Pakistan has called for United Nations action on Palestine, urging the full and good-faith implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration so that Palestinian land remains intact and a workable route to statehood stays open.

The position was set out in New York at a meeting of the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee, which handles economic and financial questions among member states. Muhammad Faheem, second secretary at Pakistan’s Mission to the United Nations, spoke for Islamabad.

What Pakistan asked the UN to do

Faheem tied Pakistan’s demand to two agreed international texts: Security Council Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration. He said both should be carried out completely and in good faith. In Pakistan’s framing, that compliance is needed to safeguard Palestinian territorial integrity and to keep a viable path to statehood on the table.

He also underlined that any ceasefire in place must be respected without exception. For readers less familiar with UN jargon, the Security Council is the UN body that can adopt binding resolutions on peace and security; Resolution 2803 is one such decision that Pakistan says must now be put into practice, not left on paper.

Gaza ceasefire and the human toll

Turning to conditions on the ground, Faheem said the scale of devastation in Gaza was staggering. He told the committee that ceasefire violations were continuing and that more than 1,400 Palestinians had been martyred.

Those remarks place Pakistan’s diplomatic appeal in the context of an unfinished truce. Islamabad’s message was that stopping the fighting on paper is not enough if breaches keep adding to the death toll and if political steps toward Palestinian statehood do not follow.

What comes next

Pakistan’s intervention keeps pressure on the wider UN membership to treat Resolution 2803 and the New York Declaration as operational commitments. Faheem’s emphasis on upholding the ceasefire signals that Islamabad will judge progress by whether violence stops and whether Palestinian territorial integrity and statehood remain protected in practice.

Further detail on how other delegations responded, or on any new Security Council schedule, was not part of the account of Sunday’s statement. What is clear from Pakistan’s side is a linked demand: implement the agreed UN texts, end ceasefire breaches, and keep a credible path to Palestinian statehood alive.

Aasan alfaaz mein

Pakistan ne United Nations se kaha hai ke Palestine ke liye pehle se pass resolution aur New York Declaration poori tarah lagoo kiye jayen. Gaza mein ceasefire toot rahi hai aur 1,400 se zyada Filasteeni shaheed bataye gaye hain. Pakistan ka kehna hai ke ceasefire pakki honi chahiye aur Filasteen ki zameen aur riyasat ka rasta mehfooz rahe. Ye diplomasi ka maamla hai; is se seedha petrol ya bill nahi badalte, lekin Pakistan ki awaam ke liye yeh is bat ki nishani hai ke hakumat UN mein Filasteen ke saath khari hai.
