Not satisfied with Islamabad’s “token action” on the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), India has prepared a “detailed dossier” of Pakistan’s “violations” of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. The violations, on at least eight counts, range from non-extradition of the terror outfit’s leaders to non-prosecution of the group and its members.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said outside Parliament on Tuesday, “We would like an objective effort from Pakistan to dismantle the terror machine. The Government of Pakistan knows what it implies. We expect them, as a member of the United Nations, to comply with the resolutions passed over the years, not just ‘1267’. We want the international community to use its power of persuasion to persuade Pakistan to comply with these resolutions.”
The dossier, which 'The Indian Express' has accessed, lists clause-by-clause obligations to be fulfilled by Pakistan. New Delhi plans to share this dossier with friendly nations to build international pressure on Islamabad.
Para 8 of UNSCR 1540 (2004) adopted under chapter VII defined non-state actors thus: “such as those identified in the UN list established and maintained by the committee established under the Security Council resolution 1267 and those to whom resolution 1373 applies”.
New Delhi says the Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Jaish-e-Mohammad are all on the UNSC resolution 1267 list, which is essentially a list of the UN’s banned terror outfits and individuals.
Now that JuD has been banned, the operative Para 8 of UNSCR 1267 (1999) becomes applicable, which “calls upon States to bring proceedings against persons and entities within their jurisdiction that violate the measures imposed and to impose appropriate penalties”.
