The UN hypocrisy on terrorism has once again come under fire.
India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar delivered a powerful speech at the United Nations, accusing the global body of failing to act against terror groups while hiding behind procedure and politics.
UN’s Credibility in Question
Jaishankar declared, “All is not well with the United Nations.” He said the UN’s decision-making no longer reflects today’s world. Its debates are stuck, and the reform process is blocked by those who benefit from the system. He warned that financial problems now add to the crisis, making the UN less effective and less trusted, highlighting the ongoing UN hypocrisy on terrorism.
Terror Groups Shielded at the UN
Jaishankar pointed to the UN hypocrisy on terrorism, noting that some Security Council members protect terror groups that openly claim attacks, such as the Pahalgam incident.
When countries shelter such organizations, the credibility of the UN collapses. He asked, “What does it say about multilateralism when victims and perpetrators are treated the same?”
The Reform India Demands
India has long pushed for UN reform — more representation, stronger accountability, and no special treatment for nations shielding terror. Jaishankar said reforms must not remain a talking point. He urged the global community to act before the UN loses all relevance.
Why This Matters
The UN hypocrisy on terrorism affects every nation that faces violence and instability. When the UN looks away, it tells victims that justice is optional. Jaishankar’s words highlight India’s frustration with a system that protects politics over people.
The Way Forward
To fix the UN’s image and purpose, Jaishankar called for:
- Fair enforcement of sanctions on terror groups.
- Equal accountability for all member nations.
- Modern decision-making that reflects current realities.
- Financial and moral independence from powerful lobbies.
Jaishankar’s speech reminded the world that terror groups cannot get a free pass. Unless the UN acts decisively, its silence will become its legacy.
