UNSC has urged all states to actively collaborate with the Indian government and all other relevant.
The suicide bombing in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, that resulted in the deaths of more than forty members of the Indian paramilitary forces has been condemned by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
In this regard, the UNSC has urged all states to actively collaborate with the Indian government and all other relevant authorities.
The members of the Security Council offered their sincere condolences to the victims' families, the Indian people, and the Indian government, and wished the injured a speedy and complete recovery.
The terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which has its headquarters in Pakistan, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The United States, Russia, and France are just a few of the nations that have condemned the attack worldwide.
The attack has been condemned by a resolution passed by the New Zealand parliament.
The UN Security Council's condemnation of the attack is significant because it represents a diplomatic victory for India and can be seen as part of India's efforts to isolate Pakistan on a global scale.
China's position regarding Jaish-e-Mohammad Chief Masood Azhar may also change as a result of the UNSC's statement naming JeM as the attackers.
Despite the fact that the UNSC has approved JeM since 2010. For the past ten years, China has repeatedly vetoed a UN Security Council Resolution 1267 sanctions committee resolution labeling JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar a "global terrorist."

Why does China oppose Azhar's UNSC Resolution 1267?
~China claims that it wants to "uphold the authority and validity of the 1267 Committee" in its official explanation for blocking the proposal.

~However, the actual reasons include safeguarding its "all-weather" ally Pakistan and are distinct from the official position.
