The United Nations Chief is ready to support any initiatives acceptable to India to “degenerate” and “restore dialogue”

His office said UN chief Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern about the situation between India and Pakistan and was ready to support any initiatives accepted by both sides to “reduce” and “resummoning dialogue.” The Secretary-General “still be very concerned about the situation between India and Pakistan. He strongly urged both governments to exercise the biggest restrictions and avoid any escalation,” his spokesperson’s office said on Monday.
Guterres reiterates his firm belief that even the most challenging issues can be peacefully resolved through meaningful constructive dialogue. He is ready to support any initiatives acceptable to both sides that promote the promotion of reduction and recovery of dialogue. ”
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after terrorists opened fire near the town of Pahalgam in Kashmir on April 22, killing 26 people, mainly tourists, the deadliest attack since the 2019 Pulwama strike.

India lowered diplomatic ties with Pakistan and announced a series of measures, including the expulsion of Pakistan’s military and its annexes, suspending the 1960 Indus Water Treaty and immediately closing the Attari land transport postal in view of cross-border ties with the Bahargham terrorist attacks.

Guterres said he was following the situation between India and Pakistan “very close and very concerned” and called on both governments to take maximum restrictions and ensure that it does not worsen further. The statement on Monday further pointed out that the United Nations Military Observer Organization (Unmogip) in India and Pakistan “has no existence in the area where the attack occurred and continues to carry out its mission to relate to observations and to monitor the 1971 strict observation of the 1971 cessation of control along the route.” The United Nations Chief once again conveyed his solidarity with the families of the victims of the April 22 terrorist attack and “emphasized the importance of accountability and justice”.

Unmogip was founded in January 1949. After the 1971 Indian-Pakistan war and subsequent ceasefire agreement, the mission of Unmogip was to observe the possibility of a ceasefire related to the 17 December 1971 ceasefire, and report to the Secretary.

India insists that Unmogip has exceeded its utility and that it is irrelevant after the Simla protocol and the consequent Line of Control (LOC).

Last week, the UN Security Council “with its strongest condemnation” in the terrorist attacks in Jamu and Kashmir, he stressed that the persons responsible for the killings should be held accountable, and organizers and sponsors should be brought to justice.
