Pakistan in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has strongly condemned the unilateral recognition by Israel of the “Somaliland” region of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
Addressing the Council, Ambassador Usman Jadoon, Acting Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, dubbed Israel’s unilateral move as unlawful and a blatant violation of international law.
“We strongly condemned the unilateral and unlawful recognition by Israel of the Somaliland region of the Federal Republic of Somalia,” Usman Jadoon stated.
Usman Jadoon suggested that Israel’s act was a direct assault on Somalia’s internationally recognized borders. He stressed that the “Somaliland” region remains an integral, inseparable, and inalienable part of Somalia.
He emphasised that no external actor has either the legal standing or the moral authority to alter that fundamental reality.
“Pakistan’s unwavering and steadfast support to the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia,” Usman Jadoon reaffirms Pakistan’s position.
He made it clear that a group of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, including Pakistan, has unequivocally rejected Israel’s unlawful move and cautioned of its serious repercussions for peace and security.
