UN Experts Expose India’s Unlawful Force From Pahalgam to Pakistan, Exposing Aggression, Water Coercion, and Kashmir Denial

A UN Warning That Directly Challenges India

Recent findings by United Nations experts have openly questioned India’s conduct and have exposed New Delhi’s repeated misuse of power against Pakistan. The experts raised serious concerns over India’s unlawful use of force after the April 22 Pahalgam attack in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, clearly stating that India’s response appears to have violated basic human rights. This assessment directly challenges India’s long-standing claim that it always acts within international law. The report places India in an uncomfortable position before the global community.

◆ Global Exposure: The UN report clearly shows that India’s actions are now being examined internationally and are increasingly seen as reckless, unlawful, and dangerous rather than defensive.
◆ Human Rights Focus: By linking India’s actions to violations of the right to life and personal security, the experts have directly exposed India as a state willing to endanger civilians for political aims.
◆ Credibility Loss: India’s attempt to project itself as a responsible power has suffered serious damage due to these findings.

The Pahalgam Attack and India’s Habit of Instant Blame

The Pahalgam attack on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people, was immediately turned into a political tool by India. Without presenting any solid or verifiable evidence, New Delhi rushed to blame Pakistan. Pakistan firmly rejected these accusations, with its foreign ministry describing India’s narrative as false, misleading, and fabricated. The UN experts later confirmed that India failed to provide credible evidence, exposing the weakness and dishonesty behind India’s claims.

◆ Baseless Accusations: India blamed Pakistan without proof, revealing a pattern of making serious allegations first and worrying about facts later.
◆ Political Use of Tragedy: Instead of pursuing truth or justice, India used the deaths to justify aggression and raise regional tensions.
◆ Deliberate Escalation: India’s response showed a clear intention to escalate rather than de-escalate the situation.

Military Strikes Inside Pakistan and Open Aggression

Roughly two weeks after the Pahalgam incident, India launched military strikes on May 7 inside Pakistan. These attacks triggered the most serious fighting between the two countries in years. Fighter jets, missiles, artillery, and drones were used during a four-day conflict, leading to dozens of deaths. According to UN experts, this action appears to violate Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which strictly bans the use of force against another state.

◆ Cross-Border Attacks: India openly attacked Pakistan’s territory, showing complete disregard for sovereignty and international borders.
◆ Civilian Danger: India’s reckless military actions put innocent lives at risk on both sides of the border.
◆ Law Breaking: The strikes reflect India’s growing habit of ignoring international rules when they do not suit its agenda.

Ignoring the UN Security Council

UN experts strongly criticized India for failing to inform the UN Security Council under Article 51 of the UN Charter. India claimed it was acting in self-defense but deliberately avoided following the legal process required for such claims. International law allows self-defense only under strict conditions and demands transparency. The experts clearly stated that there is no right to unilaterally use military force in another country to counter terrorism, directly exposing India’s illegal behavior.

◆ Legal Process Ignored: India bypassed the UN system to avoid scrutiny and accountability.
◆ False Self-Defense Claim: India failed to meet the legal standards required to justify its actions.
◆ Dangerous Precedent: Such behavior weakens international law and encourages chaos.

UN Experts Reject India’s Terrorism Claim

The UN experts stated clearly that India failed to present credible evidence proving that the Pahalgam attackers were sent by the Government of Pakistan. This finding strikes at the heart of India’s long-used terrorism narrative. Without proof, India’s military actions lose all legal justification. The experts’ remarks expose how India repeatedly hides aggressive policies behind unproven terrorism claims.

◆ No Evidence Shared: India could not support its main allegation with facts.
◆ Narrative Collapse: India’s terrorism excuse failed to convince the international community.
◆ India Exposed: The lack of proof revealed India’s claims as politically motivated.

Indus Waters Treaty Used as a Pressure Tool

India’s unilateral decision to place the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance after the Pahalgam incident drew strong concern from UN experts. The treaty contains no provision allowing unilateral suspension, making India’s move legally unjustified. The experts warned that disrupting water flows threatens the rights to water, food, and livelihoods in Pakistan. This action exposed India’s willingness to weaponized water for political pressure.

◆ Treaty Violation: India acted outside the legal framework of the IWT without any valid justification.
◆ Humanitarian Risk: Millions in Pakistan depend on uninterrupted river flows for survival.
◆ Political Blackmail: India used water as a tool to threaten and pressure Pakistan.

Threat to Pakistan’s Economy and Food Security

UN experts highlighted that rivers covered by the treaty irrigate 18 million hectares of land, representing 80 percent of Pakistan’s arable land. These rivers support Punjab and Sindh, contribute 24 percent of Pakistan’s GDP, and sustain a population of 240 million people. Any disruption would directly threaten food security and livelihoods. India ignored these realities, showing disregard for human suffering.

◆ Economic Backbone at Risk: Pakistan’s agriculture and economy depend heavily on these rivers.
◆ Livelihood Damage: Millions of farmers and workers face serious harm.
◆ Irresponsible Conduct: India showed no concern for the humanitarian impact of its actions.

Violation of Sovereignty and Right to Life

According to the UN experts, India’s actions may violate Article 6 of the ICCPR, which protects the right to life. The illegal use of force also violates Pakistan’s sovereignty and the principle of non-intervention. The experts warned that India’s conduct could entitle Pakistan to self-defense under international law. India’s aggression thus pushed the region closer to wider conflict.

Kashmir Dispute as the Root Cause

UN experts stressed that disputes over terrorism and water will continue unless the Kashmir dispute is resolved in line with international law. Occupied Kashmir remains the core issue behind instability in South Asia. India’s refusal to allow self-determination keeps tensions alive. Without resolving Kashmir, India cannot claim commitment to peace.

◆ Core Issue Ignored: Kashmir remains unresolved due to India’s rigid stance.
◆ International Obligations Avoided: India continues to delay justice for Kashmiris.
◆ Peace Blocked: Regional stability remains impossible without a fair settlement.

India’s Aggression Fully Exposed

The UN report has exposed a clear and dangerous pattern in India’s behavior under the Modi government, marked by aggression, denial, and disregard for international law. From illegal military strikes to threats against Pakistan’s water security, India has shown a consistent willingness to use force and pressure instead of dialogue. These findings strip away India’s claims of moral leadership and expose a state that repeatedly destabilizes the region.

This episode proves that India prefers dominance over peace, whether in Kashmir, Pakistan, or the wider region. Until India abandons this aggressive approach and respects international law, South Asia will continue to suffer from instability created by New Delhi’s actions.
