Pahalgam Attack: UNSC P5 nations slam terror, back India, hint at Pakistan’s role

In a strong show of unity against terrorism, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council—Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and even China—have expressed solidarity with India following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Though Pakistan was not directly named, the P5 nations delivered a sharp rebuke, indirectly calling out Islamabad for fostering terrorism. The UNSC urged strict action against those responsible for the attack and reiterated that terrorism poses a serious threat to international peace and security.
This collective statement marks a significant diplomatic win for India, especially as even China, known for shielding Pakistan on several platforms, aligned with the other major powers. The UNSC emphasized the importance of bringing the perpetrators to justice and called for united global action against terror networks. This development reflects growing international pressure on countries that provide safe havens to terror operatives, as India continues its counterterrorism operations in Kashmir post-Pahalgam attack.
