\n\n\n\n

Pakistan expressed concerns on Tuesday over the continued supply of advanced weapons and sensitive technologies to “one state” in South Asia, a veiled reference to India, warning that it fuels regional instability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gul Qaiser, a counsellor at Pakistan\u2019s UN mission, raised the issue during a United Nations General Assembly debate on conventional weapons, urging the international community to consider the destabilising impact of arms transfers in volatile regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the Disarmament and International Security Committee, Qaiser argued that in a world beset by conflict, certain nations are prioritising military financing over peace initiatives. This, he noted, challenges peace-building efforts when collaboration is needed most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to the limited effectiveness of initiatives like the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), he highlighted that advanced weaponry continues to flood conflict-prone areas, often worsening disputes and contributing to atrocities, including genocides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn South Asia, one state is being supplied with advanced weapons and sensitive technologies, leading to destabilising accumulations,\u201d said Qaiser, citing the nation\u2019s defiance of UN Security Council resolutions and hostile policies toward neighbouring countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He underscored Pakistan’s commitment to establishing a strategic restraint regime in South Asia, advocating for a balanced conventional force approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that \u201cPakistan neither wants, nor is engaged in, an arms race in the region,\u201d and called for addressing the root causes fueling the arms trade rather than merely managing its effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On global arms control, Qaiser underscored the importance of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) in maintaining a \u201cdelicate balance\u201d between humanitarian concerns and the security interests of states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also raised Pakistan\u2019s alarm over the potential use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by non-state actors, calling for collective action to counter the threat. The delegate urged further dialogue on Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS), also known as “killer robots.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qaiser advocated for an international protocol to regulate autonomous weapons, ensuring that such systems comply with humanitarian law and align with the CCW\u2019s aims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also called for global cooperation to address broader concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) in military applications, noting that AI-enhanced weapons require urgent international attention beyond current humanitarian frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
