Jaishankar Criticizes UN, Western Nations Over Kashmir and Global Governance

At the Raisina Dialogue 2025, India's External Affairs Minister called for a reformed global order, highlighting inconsistencies in international norms and the UN's handling of Kashmir.

• S. Jaishankar accused the United Nations of reframing Pakistan's 1948 invasion of Kashmir as a bilateral dispute, equating the attacker and victim.
• He criticized Western nations, including the US, UK, and Canada, for their role in the unequal application of global rules, particularly in cases like Kashmir and Afghanistan.
• Jaishankar emphasized the need for a fair and consistent global order, arguing that the current system fails to reflect modern geopolitical realities.
• He highlighted Western double standards, citing their selective engagement with the Taliban and differing responses to political interference based on geography.
• Jaishankar warned that the absence of a strong global order allows smaller nations with extreme positions, such as Pakistan, to exploit disorder for their advantage.
