The Truth About Global Politics: Jaishankar Reveals Shocking UN Injustices
Jaishankar Slams UN’s Double Standards, Calls for a Fair Global Order
Jaishankar Criticizes UN Bias, Cites Kashmir as an Example of Injustice
India’s Foreign Minister Questions Global Governance Frameworks
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has once again taken a strong stance on global governance, questioning the fairness of international institutions such as the United Nations. Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue, Jaishankar emphasized the need for a balanced and just world order, highlighting the selective application of international rules and historical injustices suffered by India.
Jaishankar Takes a Dig at the UN, Cites Kashmir
During his address, Jaishankar pointed to Kashmir as an example of how global powers manipulate international disputes to serve their interests. He criticized how India’s long-standing territorial challenges have been treated with bias by Western nations.
“We all speak of sovereignty and territorial integrity. It’s a vital principle and a bedrock of global rules. After World War II, the longest-standing illegal presence and occupation of a territory by another country pertains to India in Kashmir. We went to the UN. What was an invasion was made into a dispute. The attacker and the victim were put on par,” Jaishankar stated.
Jaishankar’s comments alluded to how powerful Western nations, including the UK, Canada, Belgium, Australia, and the USA, influenced the handling of the Kashmir issue. He questioned the fairness of such interventions and accused global institutions of maintaining double standards.
Western Political Interference: A Case of Double Standards?
Jaishankar further pointed out the hypocrisy in how the West defines political interference.
“When the West goes out into other countries, it’s in pursuance of democratic freedoms. When other countries come into the West, it seems to have a very malign intention.”
His remarks underscored India’s growing concerns about how global institutions disproportionately scrutinize emerging economies while excusing Western interventions under the guise of democracy and human rights.
The Need for a Strong and Fair UN
Jaishankar stressed that a truly effective global order requires fairness, consistency, and unbiased application of principles. He called for reforms in the United Nations to ensure that global governance reflects today’s realities rather than outdated power structures.
“If we need to have an order, there must be fairness… We need a strong UN, but a strong UN requires a fair UN.”
Military Coups: Why Some Are Accepted and Others Are Condemned
Another key point raised by Jaishankar was the world’s inconsistent response to military coups.
“We have military coups to our east in Myanmar, they are a no-no. We have them even more regularly to the West where they seem to be okay.”
He urged a more honest and transparent audit of how global power dynamics have shifted over the last eight decades, stressing the importance of recalibrating the world order.
Time for a New Global Conversation
Jaishankar ended his speech by advocating for a fresh approach to international governance. He emphasized that the global landscape has changed and that India, along with other emerging powers, deserves a stronger voice in decision-making processes.
“The balances and shareholdings in the world have changed. We need a different conversation. We need a different order.”
Jaishankar’s speech at the Raisina Dialogue has once again placed India at the forefront of discussions on global governance. His bold statements highlight India’s demand for a fairer and more equitable world order—one that does not favor a select few but upholds true principles of sovereignty and justice for all nations.
