The objective of the world body was to prevent war and use of force against the independent state, the Permanent Representative of Pakistan Mission to the United Nations Munir Akram has said, adding that Pakistan has been victim of attacks by the terrorists being harbored by the neighboring state.
According to media reports, Munir Akram has made these remarks while speaking at an open video conference Arria-formula meeting on “Upholding the collective security system of the UN Charter: the use of force in international law, non-state actors and legitimate self-defense”.
