NEW YORK  –  Pakistan has once again urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to fulfil its obligation by ensuring the implementation of its own resolutions on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

“It is the responsibility the Security Council to ensure the right to self-determination for the Kashmiri people, and promote a just and lasting settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute by taking measures to implement its own resolutions,” said Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi while addressing a high-level Security Council meeting here yesterday.

According to the Pakistan Mission to UN, Fatemi reminded that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains on the agenda of the UNSC and awaits a just and final settlement in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council that promised the Kashmiri people the right to self-determination through a UN-supervised plebiscite.

According to APP, Fatemi made these remarks while speaking at the UNSC high-level open debate on the ‘Maintenance of International Peace and Security: Advancing Adaptability in UN Peace Operations — Responding to New Realities’.

Highlighting the importance of the UN peacekeeping operations as being cost-effective instruments to maintain international peace and security, Fatemi mentioned that the UN Military Observers Group in India and Pakistan, established in 1949, exemplified the observation and monitoring type of operations for inter-state conflicts.

The SAPM mentioned Pakistan’s long association with the UN peacekeeping operations in terms of being one of the longest-serving and leading troop contributors and a founding member of the Peace-building Commission.

Fatemi also highlighted the “new realities” and challenges facing peace operations today, which, he said, are being increasingly shaped by divergent objectives and priorities resulting from increased geo-political rivalries, lack of political will and insufficient allocation of resources.

He added that the proliferation of non-state actors, the changing nature of conflicts; and the weaponi-sation of new technologies and the information space were also challenges facing peace operations today.

A critical analysis of Drop Site News’ report alleging a UK–Pakistan “swap deal,” exposing its reliance on anonymous sources, partisan framing, and legally impossible claims.

Anonymous Sources, Big Claims, Thin Ground

SAT Editorial Desk December 6, 2025

A recent Drop Site News report claims a covert UK–Pakistan exchange of convicted sex offenders for political dissidents. But a closer look shows the story rests on hearsay, anonymous insiders, and a narrative shaped more by partisan loyalties than evidence. From misrepresenting legally declared propagandists as persecuted critics to ignoring the legal impossibility of such a swap, this report illustrates how modern journalism can slip into activism. When sensational claims outrun facts and legality, credibility collapses, and so does the line between holding power accountable and manufacturing a story.

A sharp critique of Zabihullah Mujahid’s recent evasive remarks on the TTP, exposing Taliban hypocrisy and Afghan complicity in cross-border militancy.

Zabihullah Mujahid’s Bizarre Statement on TTP: A Lesson in Hypocrisy and Evasion

Ibrahim Khalil December 6, 2025

Zabihullah Mujahid’s recent statement dismissing the TTP as Pakistan’s “internal issue” and claiming Pashto lacks the word “terrorist” is a glaring act of evasion. By downplaying a UN-listed militant group hosted on Afghan soil, the Taliban spokesperson attempts to deflect responsibility, despite overwhelming evidence of TTP sanctuaries, leadership, and operations in Afghanistan. His remarks reveal not linguistic nuance, but calculated hypocrisy and political convenience.

Beyond the Rhetoric: What Muttaqi’s Address Reveals About Afghan Policy

SAT Commentary December 3, 2025

Interim Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s recent address sought to reframe Afghanistan’s strained ties with Pakistan through a narrative of victimhood and denial. From dismissing cross-border militancy to overstating economic resilience, his claims contradict on-ground realities and historical patterns. A closer examination reveals strategic deflection rather than accountability, with serious implications for regional peace and security.

We Want Deliverance

SAT Editorial Desk December 3, 2025

Political mobilization in South Asia is not rooted in policy or institutions but in a profound yearning for deliverance. From Modi’s civilizational aura in India to Imran Khan’s revolutionary moral narrative in Pakistan, voters seek not managers of the state but messianic figures who promise total transformation. This “Messiah Complex” fuels a cycle of charismatic rise, institutional erosion, and eventual democratic breakdown, a pattern embedded in the region’s political psychology and historical imagination.
