Pakistan-linked terrorism raises alarm at UNHRC, Pahalgam attack highlighted

At UNHRC, Yasser Laaroussi condemns Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, citing the Pahalgam attack, and calls for stronger global action.

"acts of terrorism cannot be justified under any circumstances - Yasser Laaroussi"

Geneva, March 13

On the sidelines of the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Yasser Laaroussi, an associate of the ECO-FAWN Society, drew international attention to the continuing threat of terrorism in the region, particularly referencing the deadly attack in Pahalgam, located in Jammu and Kashmir.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Laaroussi highlighted the devastating impact of the Pahalgam terror attack and conveyed a message of solidarity with the victims and the people of India. He stated that acts of terrorism cannot be justified under any circumstances and urged the international community to acknowledge the human cost of such violence. According to him, remembering such incidents is essential not only to honour the victims but also to strengthen global resolve against terrorism.

Addressing the issue of regional security, Laaroussi said that Pakistan-sponsored terrorism continues to threaten peace and stability in South Asia. He warned that cross-border militancy has long undermined security in Jammu and Kashmir, creating instability and fear among civilians. Such activities, he noted, hinder development, disrupt normal life, and deepen tensions across the region.

Laaroussi further questioned whether the global community is doing enough to address terrorism that originates across borders. While acknowledging that international institutions have taken steps to counter extremism, he suggested that stronger and more coordinated action is needed. According to him, global responses must go beyond statements of condemnation and translate into meaningful policies that prevent terrorist groups from operating freely.

He emphasised that the United Nations, along with governments and civil society organisations, must play a stronger role in ensuring accountability. Countries accused of harbouring or supporting terrorist groups should face greater scrutiny and diplomatic pressure, he argued.

Laaroussi also called for closer international cooperation to dismantle terror networks, prevent financing of extremist organisations, and strengthen global counterterrorism frameworks. He stated that combating terrorism requires unified action from governments, international institutions, and communities worldwide.

The Pahalgam attack was heartbreaking. Innocent tourists and locals just trying to live their lives. It's high time for concrete global action, not just debates in Geneva. Our security forces are doing their best, but the source needs to be plugged.

While I agree terrorism is a global menace, I hope the focus remains on the victims and peace-building. Sometimes the rhetoric can escalate tensions further. A balanced approach from the UN is crucial.

Laaroussi is absolutely right. The financing of these groups must be stopped. It's an open secret where the support comes from. The international community's selective outrage is disappointing. Kashmiriyat is about harmony, not violence.

As someone who loves visiting India, this is alarming. Tourism brings people together and helps economies. These attacks destroy that. Stronger international cooperation is needed to protect peaceful regions like Kashmir.

We appreciate the solidarity, but words are not enough. When will the UN actually impose real consequences on state sponsors of terror? Our soldiers and civilians pay the price every day. Enough is enough.
