UN Lawyer Calls Pakistan a State Sponsor of Terrorism

During a UN Human Rights Council session, human rights lawyer Neuer labeled Pakistan as a “state sponsor of terror,” igniting a strong reaction from the Pakistani delegate. Neuer criticized perceived double standards within the UN, contrasting Pakistan’s harboring of terrorists with the U.S. killing of Osama bin Laden, which he framed as justice against terrorism. This confrontation, which highlighted Pakistan’s alleged role in global terrorism, underscored ongoing geopolitical tensions and persistent divisions within the UN regarding accountability in international terrorism. Neuer’s remarks not only embarrassed Pakistan on the international stage but also reflected broader concerns over state complicity in terrorist activities.
