UN emergency session on Ukraine: Pakistan abstains from voting

At the 11th Emergency session of the UN General Assembly, Pakistan was amongst the 32 member states who abstained from voting on the Resolution on Ukraine.

Explaining the reason to abstention, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram said Pakistan fully supports the resolution's call for respect for the principles of sovereignty, sovereign equality and territorial integrity of States and non-acquisition of territory by the threat or use of force but regretted that these principles have not been universally applied and respected.
