Relevance:\u00a0<\/strong>China\u2019s veto power in UNSC and its effect on India<\/strong><\/p>\n

News: <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>China recently placed a \u201chold\u201d on a joint India-U.S. proposal to designate Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Shahid Mehmood under the United Nations Security Council\u2019s (UNSC) 1267 list of terrorists affiliated to Al Qaeda and ISIS.<\/p>\n

What is 1267 committee?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It was set up in 1999 (updated in 2011 and 2015). It maintains the list of terrorist group affiliated to Al Qaeda and ISIS.<\/p>\n

It allows that any UN member state can propose the name that could be added to a consolidated list of terrorist group.<\/p>\n

However, placing a hold by a member country prevents the name to be added to the list.<\/p>\n

What does \u2018\u2019placing a hold\u2019\u2019 mean?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The rules of 1267 committee states that names of the terrorist can only be added as per no objection procedure,<\/strong> followed by the member nations of UNSC.<\/p>\n

If any member of UNSC places a hold on the listing of the name then that name cannot be added to the consolidated list of terror groups.<\/p>\n

Since China is a permanent member of UNSC, it has used its veto multiple times.<\/p>\n

Further, if any country places a hold on the proposed name, then 1267 committee is bound to resolve such issued within six months. The holding country has to decide whether to accept the listing or place a permanent objection to it.<\/p>\n

What are the reasons behind placing a hold by China?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

One of the important reasons could be the close bilateral ties between Pakistan and China.<\/p>\n

For example,<\/strong> China kept placing a hold on the UNSC terror listing proposals for Masood Azhar in 2009, 2010, 2016-18. It claimed it had inadequate information. However, China withdrew its hold in 2019.<\/p>\n

Further, as per Chinese ambassador, China places a hold because it needs time to study these specific cases. He further said that placing a hold does not mean that China has changed its position on counter-terrorism cooperation efforts.<\/p>\n

Moreover, India\u2019s Permanent Representative to the UN Ruchira Khamboj had asked to end the practice of placing holds and blocks on listing requests.<\/p>\n

What are other efforts are taken by India?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

India has consistently tried to build international consensus on cross-border terrorism.<\/p>\n

Its effort was seen when Pakistan was placed on grey list under the Financial Action Task Force due to its inability to curb terror financing and money laundering from 2012-2015 and 2018-2022.<\/p>\n

Finally, India and the U.S. have built their own separate list of most wanted terrorists with a view to eventually receiving global cooperation on banning them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
