Taking a major step, the United Nations Security Council on Monday declared Pakistani terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki as a global terrorist. Which has also been supported by China. However, till now China had been obstructing this proposal. But now China has taken a concrete step for the first time against Pakistan-backed terrorism.
Makki is designated as a global terrorist under 1267 ISIL (Daesh) and the Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). On January 16, 2023, the United Nations said in its statement, the Security Council Committee has put Abdul Rahman Makki on the sanctions list under the ISIL, Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee.
According to a UNSC resolution on listing terrorists linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, Makki can no longer access funds, buy weapons and travel outside jurisdiction.
Significantly, India and America have already put Makki in the list of terrorists under their laws. Last year, India came up with a proposal to declare Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki as a global terrorist in the United Nations. But China had stopped it. In June, India reprimanded China on this issue. In June 2022, India criticized China for blocking a proposal to list terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki.
