Geneva:Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to solve international disputes for the sake of world peace.

She urged that the Kashmir and Palestine conflicts are resolved at the earliest.“Gone are the days when the impact of armed conflicts on civilians was limited to collateral damage,” said Maleeha Lodhi.

According to her, the modern-day armed conflicts paint a bleak picture of humanity due to targeted attacks, sexual violence, forced conscription and indiscriminate killings.

“These crimes continue to be perpetrated in Palestine and Kashmir, two of the oldest disputes on the agenda of this Council,” said the Pakistan envoy.
