UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged India and Pakistan to exercise maximum restraint, warning that any military confrontation between the two nations could escalate uncontrollably, posing a catastrophic threat to both countries and the world. He emphasized the necessity for both nations to engage in serious dialogue and ensure full respect for human rights in all territories. Guterres reiterated the availability of UN's good offices to facilitate peaceful solutions, highlighting that certain problems lack military resolutions. His remarks come amid heightened tensions following India's revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019, which led Pakistan to downgrade diplomatic ties and expel the Indian high commissioner.
