Pakistan urges global cooperation for breaking nexus between terrorism, organised crime
She spoke on the threats to international peace and security at UN Security Council.
(Web Desk) – Pakistan has maintained that effective border controls are a "prerequisite" to clamping down on the twin threats of transnational organized crime and terrorism.
Speaking in a debate on the threats to international peace and security at UN Security Council, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations Dr Maleeha Lodhi said only through collective regional and international efforts could the world community choke off the various sources that support terrorist outfits through organised crime.
She said Pakistan would continue to play its role to sever the vicious link between terrorism and organised crime in the region.
Maleeha Lodhi said the crime-terrorist nexus varies across different contexts, with several common areas of confluence, including financing tools, recruiting vulnerable youth and operating in areas outside government control.
“Being one of the principal victims of terrorism, Pakistan’s resolve to eliminate this scourge is clear and unwavering.”
