Overview
- India's First Secretary to the UN, Anupama Singh, used India's right of reply during the 62nd UN Human Rights Council session on June 17–18 to accuse Pakistan of nurturing and deploying terrorists as state policy and to call it a "Frankenstein state."
- Singh rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir from Pakistan and the OIC and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral and inalienable part of India.
- New Delhi said the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty is outdated, has kept the pact in abeyance since the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam attack, and tied any restoration of cooperation to Pakistan credibly ending support for cross‑border terrorism.
- India pointed to unrest in Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir, including a June 14 Rawalakot security operation and reported civilian deaths, as evidence to challenge Pakistan's human‑rights credibility at multilateral forums.
- The public escalation raises tangible risks to Pakistan's water and agricultural security and makes the World Bank‑brokered treaty and other international mechanisms likely venues for future diplomatic and legal contestation.
