At a special meeting of the UN Security Council’s (UNSC) Counter-Terrorism Committee held in Mumbai, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that “all relevant parties should support these resolutions and no nation should stand in their way.”
According to Blinken, member nations should support the resolutions designating terrorists under the UNSC’s 1267 list. The 1267 list is monitored by the UNSC committee, which was established in 1999.
The committee may, with the approval of the UN member states, add any group associated with Al Qaeda or ISIS to the list of terrorist organisations. Bliken’s remark was directed at China, which had resisted plans by India and the US to blacklist Hafiz Talah Saeed, a jihadist and the son of the commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has its headquarters in Pakistan.
Six US citizens were among the victims of the city’s terrorist strikes in November 2008, according to Antony Blinken, who described the atrocities of the Mumbai attack.
“We stand in solidarity with India and all nations that lost people on that day. But we must do more than mourning. We have the responsibility to the victims and people everywhere to bring justice to the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks and their masterminds.”
“This is why the United States is working with India and other partners for 14 years because when we allow the architects of these attacks to go unpunished, we send a message to terrorists everywhere that their heinous will be tolerated,”
