China shields Pak based global terrorist from United Nations sanctions despite incontrovertible evidence
  • China has once again shielded a Pakistan based global terrorist - Abdul RaufAzhar from United Nations sanctions despite incontrovertible evidence under the garb of procedures as it has put a hold on a US-India joint proposal at the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) to list Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) commander as a UN designated international terrorist.

  • In June this year, China similarly put technical hold on the US-India joint proposal to sanction Abdul RehmanMakki - a known Pakistan-based terrorist who is the deputy head of UN proscribed Pakistan based terrorist entity Lashkar-e-Tayyiba. Both RaufAzhar and RahmanMakki are involved in a number of terror attacks in India, including the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, attack on Indian Parliament and hijacking of Indian Airlines flight 814 in 1999.

  • Abdul RaufAzhar is the younger brother of MasoodAzhar and is one of the most wanted persons in India. Experts with the knowledge of UNSC functioning said it has put a question mark on China's sincerity in dealing with the issues related to global terrorism and efforts by UNSC as it has put hold technical holds on UN resolutions twice in last 2 months and China is abdicating its responsibility as a permanent member of UN Security Council.

  • While all 14 other UNSC member countries agreed, only China stood out in placing the hold on Abdul RaufAzhar being declared a UN designated international terrorist.
