The day serves as a call to action for countries around the world to unite in their efforts to prevent the conditions that foster terrorism.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the commemoration of this day underscores the critical need to address and mitigate the factors contributing to violent extremism. The aim is to foster a global dialogue and partnership that enhances the capabilities of nations to deal with these threats in a comprehensive and effective manner. By highlighting the significance of collaboration among countries, the observance encourages the sharing of knowledge, resources, and strategies to create a more secure and peaceful international environment.
The focus on preventing violent extremism as a means to deter terrorism reflects a proactive approach to security, emphasizing the importance of understanding and tackling the root causes of extremism. This international day not only raises awareness but also reaffirms the commitment of the global community to work together in promoting peace, security, and cooperation across borders.
Islamabad, Pakistan has issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s military operations in Rafah City, Gaza, decrying the violence and loss of Palestinian lives. This stance reflects growing international concern over the escalating conflict and its impact on Gaza’s civilian population.
According to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Israeli offensive in Rafah not only results in significant destruction and casualties among Palestinians but also contravenes provisional measures set by the International Court of Justice aimed at safeguarding Gaza’s inhabitants from acts of genocide. This recent aggression exacerbates the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded over the past four months in Gaza, undermining efforts toward achieving a ceasefire.
Islamabad is calling on the global community and the UN Security Council, in particular, to intervene promptly to halt Israeli hostilities and address the ongoing violations against Palestinians, which it categorizes as crimes against humanity. Pakistan’s appeal underscores the urgency of international diplomatic efforts to restore peace and prevent further civilian suffering in the conflict-ridden region.
