Amid rising tensions in the Middle East and continuing diplomatic efforts surrounding the US-Iran conflict, Pakistan told the United Nations on Monday that mediation must become the guiding principle of conflict prevention rather than a tool used only after crises erupt. This message was conveyed by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, during the UN General Debate on strengthening the role of mediation in the peaceful settlement of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution.
