Chairman of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, Imran Khan stated that the issue is being investigated by the UN inspectors and any action based on the report submitted by these inspectors must be premised on and have sanction of the UNSC under Chapter VII of the Chapter.
ˈUnilateral
military action against a sovereign member state of the UN is against
the UN Charter and international law and the powerful cannot be allowed
to break these international norms with impunity,ˈ Khan, who is also
member of the parliament, said.
He
reiterated that President Obamaˈs decision to seek US Congressional
approval for unilateral military action was an internal political issue
and not a source of international legitimisation.
ˈEven
in that context, Secretary of State Kerryˈs declaration that
Congressional approval was not required was a reflection of the
militaristic policies displayed by the Obama Administration during its
previous and present tenure in office.
Khan
pointed out that Pakistan has suffered from this US cavalier
militaristic approach in the illegal drone attacks against its
citizens.
ˈIt
is time respect for international law and the collective security
system defined in Chapter VII of the UN Charter was reasserted by the
international community,ˈ Khan emphasised. That is the only way to
protect the global community from intra state and inter state excesses
and abuse, Khan concluded.
