As Global Community Unites Against Masood Azhar, China May Veto UN Sanctions on JeM Chief Again

The United Kingdom, United States and France on Wednesday proposed the UN Security Council impose sanctions on Pakistani-based militant outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad, which claimed responsibility for the gruesome Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir.

This was the third attempt to put Masood Azhar, the leader and founder of JeM on the UN terror blacklist by which he would be subjected to a global travel ban, arms embargo and assets freeze. Earlier, China blocked this attempt twice – in 2016 and 2017.

Jaish-e-Mohammad was added to the terror list in 2001. Diplomats said they expected China to again raise objections
 

The council has 10 days to consider the request from the three countries.
UN chief Antonio Guterres has also been in talks with both sides, urging them to urgently take steps to lower tensions through meaningful, mutual engagement and meet their responsibilities to maintain peace and security in the region.

Most countries have asked for Pakistan to act upon terror organisations operating from its soil immediately.

The US has released several statements since the February 14 attack in Pulwama. President Trump had called the attack which killed 40 CRPF personnel ‘horrible’.

Days later, a statement released on February 26 by the US Department of State said Secretary of State Pompeo has already had a telephonic conversation with Sushma Swaraj and her Pakistani counterpart Qureshi. Additionally, it also came to light that NSA Ajit Doval too had briefed his American counterpart Bolton on India's air strike on Jaish-e-Mohammef training camp in Balakot.

Sri Lankan foreign ministry in a statement said it supports "peace and stability" in South Asia and all endeavours towards the "diffusion of tensions". It also called upon India and Pakistan to act in a manner that ensures peace, security and stability of the entire region.

China has repeatedly asked both countries to think of regional stability and peace and also called on both countries to exercise restraint.
