UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan has raked up the Kashmir issue again at the UN Security Council, linking it to the Palestinian crisis and asserting that the world continues to watch these "egregious" situations without addressing them, reports The Times of India.

Participating in an open debate at the UNSC, Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi on Wednesday said challenges to international peace and security are intensifying at a time when the foundations of global order are fraying.

"The Palestinian and Kashmiri people continue to suffer horrific human rights violations at the hands of occupying forces while the world continues to watch without addressing these egregious situations," Maleeha Lodhi said during the debate on 'Addressing complex contemporary challenges to international peace and security'.

The envoy said conflicts continued to rage across the world, from Africa to Afghanistan.
