**Jaishankar Calls for Global Unity Against Terrorism at UN Exhibition**

*United Nations, July 1, 2025* – Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar delivered a forceful call for global cooperation in combating terrorism at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Monday. Speaking at the inauguration of the exhibition “The Human Cost of Terrorism,” Jaishankar urged the international community to ensure terrorists face consequences, are not used as proxies, and that there is no submission to nuclear blackmail.

The exhibition, open to UN personnel from June 30-July 3 and July 7-July 11, highlights the devastating impact of terror attacks worldwide, including the 1993 and 2008 Mumbai attacks, and the recent Pahalgam attack, for which India launched Operation Sindoor in response. The exhibition specifically names terror organizations responsible for the attacks, including several based in Pakistan.

Jaishankar pointed to the UN Security Council’s condemnation of the Pahalgam attack as a sign of progress, emphasizing the need to hold perpetrators accountable. He also stressed the importance of exposing and countering state sponsorship of terrorism, asserting that “terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere.”

“The world must come together on some basic concepts— no impunity to terrorists, no treating them as proxies, and no yielding to nuclear blackmail,” Jaishankar stated.

The minister emphasized that the exhibition served as a “modest yet resolute effort to give voice to those who can no longer speak, a tribute to those who were taken away from us and a remembrance of the lives shattered by the scourge of terrorism.” He reiterated India’s commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, urging the UN to act, protect, and uphold the values and human rights that terrorism seeks to destroy.

Pakistan is set to begin its Presidency of the UN Security Council for July on Tuesday.
