ISLAMABAD: Responding to an Israeli representative’s scathing critique of Pakistan’s human rights record, Mumtaz Zehra Baloch, the Foreign Office spokesperson, dismissed it as a politically-motivated remark, emphasizing that Pakistan has no need for Israel’s counsel on the matter of human rights protection.
Baloch aptly characterized Israel’s statement as a politically-charged expression that starkly contrasts with the overall positive tone of the session and the statements delivered by a vast majority of nations. Citing Israel’s extensive history of oppressing Palestinians, Baloch asserted that Pakistan can certainly do without receiving advice from a country marred by such violations when it comes to safeguarding human rights.
These remarks from the spokesperson followed the unanimous adoption of Pakistan’s Universal Periodic Report by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Pakistan garnered commendations from numerous states and civil society organizations for its commendable progress in advancing human rights, further underscoring its commitment to the cause.
