Meeting of the UN Security Council on 04 February 2026 on the Threats to World Peace Posed by Terrorist Acts

Dear Sir or Madam,

We have learned through media reports that the United Nations Security Council is holding a meeting today, 04 February 2026, on the threats to international peace and security posed by terrorist acts, including those committed by the terrorist organization (IS).

In this context, the media have also reported that on 03 February 2026, in the province of Pashtunkhwa, Khyber District, unknown armed individuals attacked a suspected hideout of the terrorist organization IS. As a result, 11 IS members were killed and three others injured. According to media reports, most of those killed were allegedly foreign nationals.

In our view, however, the real causes of terrorism lie with leading actors within the Pakistani military and intelligence apparatus, particularly the ISI. In particular, Mr. Asim Munir and the Pakistani military intelligence service ISI are accused of systematically training, financing, and supporting terrorist organizations for many years. Reports indicate that more than 30 different terrorist groups are involved, including IS-Khorasan. A list of these terrorist organizations is provided below.

One of the terrorist organizations supported by Pakistan is the so-called IS-Khorasan, an offshoot of IS. According to media reports dated 24 September 2025, former Pakistani military officer Adil Raja publicly admitted that high-ranking members of this organization are located both in Mastung District (Balochistan) and in the province of Pashtunkhwa. According to these reports, the leader of IS-Khorasan, Shahabul-Mahajar, as well as Abdulhakim Tawhidi, Sultan Aziz Ezam, and Salhuddin Rajab, are present in Pakistan and are under the protection of the Pakistani military intelligence service ISI.

On 26 September 2025, the newspaper India Today additionally reported that in July 2025, a new training camp of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba was established in Gulban Maidan (Pashtunkhwa), approximately 47 kilometers from the Durand Line. This reportedly occurred in response to an Indian attack in May 2025 on a suicide bomber training center of the same organization in the Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir.

On 30 October 2025, Afghan television channels reported that a member of IS-Khorasan was arrested in Afghanistan. During the arrest, a Pakistani national identity card and other supporting documents were seized. The arrested individual identified himself as Saeedullah and stated that he had previously been a member of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba before joining IS. He explained that he had received his terrorist training in camps in Peshawar and in the mountains of Quetta, which are under Pakistani administration. Using forged Afghan identity documents (“Tazkira”), he was sent to Afghanistan under the false name “Mohammad.” According to his statements, adolescents and young men aged 16 to 30 from Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, and Russia were trained in these camps. Furthermore, additional training facilities with similar functions reportedly exist.

According to a report by the Times of India dated 13 January 2026, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that there are currently eight active terrorist training camps under Pakistani administration. Six of these camps are located near the Line of Control in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, while two others are near Pakistan’s international border.

It is known to the international community and to the people of Greater Afghanistan that Pakistan has actively engaged in terrorism for many years by training terrorist groups and sending them to countries such as Afghanistan, India, and Kashmir in order to deliberately create instability.

Conclusion:

Based on the available reports, leading representatives of the Pakistani authorities, military generals, and the military intelligence service ISI are involved in serious crimes against civilians, including the قتل of children, women, and innocent people. We urgently call upon the international community to hold those responsible for these crimes accountable.

We kindly request that this letter be made available to all participants of today’s UN Security Council meeting on 04 February 2026.

Yours sincerely,
