Pakistan has announced its decision to brief the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the escalating tensions with India, citing concerns over New Delhi’s “aggressive actions and provocations.”

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, the move is aimed at informing the international community about the situation in the region.

Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has instructed Ambassador Asim Iftikhar, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, to take immediate steps to convene a meeting of the Security Council.

“Pakistan will inform the UNSC about India’s aggressive actions, provocations, and provocative statements,” the Foreign Ministry stated. It emphasized particular concerns over India’s recent “illegal actions to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty” a crucial agreement that governs water-sharing between the two countries.

The statement further highlighted Islamabad’s intent to underscore how New Delhi’s actions are endangering “peace and security” in South Asia.

“This important diplomatic move is part of Pakistan’s efforts to present accurate facts to the international community,” the ministry added.

The decision comes amidst heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, with Pakistan accusing India of taking unilateral measures that threaten regional stability.

The hostilities stemmed from the Pahalgam attack which claimed the lives of 26 tourists in Indian-Occupied Kashmir. In addition to multiple measures announced by New Delhi, including holding the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, India has also given its forces operation freedom to act against Pakistan. In response Pakistan has conducted major military exercises and tested the Abdali weapon system, with a range of 450 km.
