India has urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to continue giving importance to the global threat of terrorism. India stated that terrorism is one of the major challenges to human rights, especially the basic right to life. The country stressed that protecting people from terrorist attacks is important for ensuring safety, peace and security around the world.
During its statement, India highlighted the serious damage caused by terrorism in different parts of the world. Terrorist attacks take innocent lives, create fear among people and cause great suffering to families and communities. India also pointed out that terrorism affects not only individuals but also creates problems for international peace and security.
India called on the UN Human Rights Council to work closely with countries around the world to address the threat of terrorism. It stressed that governments must take effective steps to prevent terrorist activities and protect people from violence. International cooperation was also highlighted as an important part of fighting terrorism.
The Indian government said that efforts to tackle terrorism should follow human rights principles. It explained that protecting national security and respecting human rights must go together. Countries should take action against terrorism while ensuring that basic rights and legal protections are respected.
India also highlighted the need to understand the reasons that can lead people towards extremism. Issues such as poverty, inequality and a lack of education can create difficult conditions in some communities. Addressing these problems through better opportunities, education and social development may help reduce the risk of extremism.
The country further stressed that no single nation can address the global threat of terrorism alone. Governments, international organisations and other partners need to share information and work together. Strong cooperation can help countries prevent attacks and respond more effectively to security challenges.
India concluded by urging the UN Human Rights Council to remain committed to protecting human rights while addressing terrorism. It called for practical steps and continued international efforts to create a safer world where people can live without fear and enjoy their basic rights.
