Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the United Nations to condemn recent attacks by Pakistan on Afghan territory, describing them as violations of international law.
In a letter addressed to António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Karzai stated that the strikes have resulted in civilian casualties and significant damage to Afghanistan’s national infrastructure.
He emphasized that such actions are in clear contradiction with international norms and the principles and purposes of the United Nations.
Karzai further noted that Pakistan’s policy over the past four decades has relied on the instrumental use of militancy and extremism as a means of exerting influence in the region.
The former president urged the UN Secretary-General to use his good offices to prevent further attacks and violations of Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also called for efforts to reduce tensions and help free the region from the cycle of violence.
