Islamabad (Web Desk): The Foreign Office (FO) on Tuesday categorically rejected Israel's statement regarding the adoption of Pakistan’s Universal Periodic Report.
Responding to media queries, FO Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that the United Nations Human Rights Council (UN) on Tuesday adopted Pakistan's Universal Periodic Report unanimously and Israel's politically motivated statement is fundamentally at variance with the otherwise positive tone of the session and the statements made by a vast majority of the countries.
The FO spokesperson said that several states and civil society organizations commended Pakistan on the progress achieved in promoting human rights.
Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said given Israel’s long history of oppression of Palestinians, Pakistan can certainly do without its advice on protecting Human Rights.
