Pakistan lambasts world powers' nuclear duplicity

2011-04-06

UNITED NATIONS: Drawing the United Nations' attention to perils of major powers' contradictory, discriminatory and vague approach to nuclear and security issues, Pakistan has called for transparent and uniform application of policies towards goals of non-proliferation, disarmament and sustainable peace.

Sane countries may have nuclear arms. Crazy countries like Pakistan may not

"A multitude of disputes and conflicts are lingering. The pursuit of doctrines and policies of containment, balance of power, unilateralism and pre-emption by global and regional powers, have combined to make the world a much more dangerous and unstable place than ever before," Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, Abdullah Hussain Haroon, warned. He was making a statement at the 2011 Substantive Session of the United Nations Disarmament Commission.

I agree. Let's start fixing this by defanging your worthless country.

Underscoring some of the security challenges in the current world scenario, the envoy noted that not withstanding the end of the Cold War for over two decades, aspirations for a peace dividend and a just international order continue to remain elusive.

"This situation has also posed several challenges both to the disarmament and non-proliferation regime as well as to its multilateral deliberative and negotiating platforms."

In the area of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, there are several negative developments, Haroon said and pointed out that most of the nuclear weapons states do not appear ready to foreswear nuclear weapons.

No. Really?

"In fact, some nuclear weapon states are seeking to develop new nuclear weapons, contravening their commitments and increasing the danger of the use of nuclear weapons; contrary to their rhetorical commitment to nuclear disarmament. Some nuclear weapon states are resisting commencement of negotiations on nuclear disarmament in the Conference on Disarmament," said Haroon.

In a reference to world powers granting an exceptional nuclear technology deal to India, the ambassador took swipe at the "blatant violations of national and international non-proliferation obligations by major states as manifested by their support for NSG waiver to one non-NPT state".

A deal you guys also wanted and didn't get, since the Indians are sane and sensible, and you guys aren't...

The ambassador lambasted the pursuit of "selectivity, exceptionalism, discrimination and double standards by major powers in the area of non-proliferation, for commercial and strategic considerations".

#1 Compare wid WORLD NEWS > REPORT: US DOUBTS PAKISTAN PLAN TO DEFEAT TALIBAN; + WHITE HOUSE: PAKISTAN IS FAILING TO DEFEAT TO MILITANTS.

Artics read, PAKISTAN HAS THE FIREPOWER + MIL METHODS, ETC. BUT NOT THE HATE, as per the Talibs???

More popularly known during the Cold War as making sure one's bullets land "NEAR" THE TARGET, NOT DIRECTLY "ON" THE TARGET.

Shooting the Rocks next to the Taliban.
