2017 BRICS Declaration Casts a Light on Pakistan’s Use of Cross-Border Terror
Finally, it seems that the world is running out of patience with Pakistan-based terror groups that jeopardize regional and global security. The BRICS declaration was acknowledgement of the success, in particular, of the Afghan government’s stance and policy that has repeatedly sought to remind the world that the Afghan state is, in fact, a primary victim of a terrorism that is nurtured across the border Pakistan. Though Pakistan’s foreign policy has been in the hands of its military establishment, it is nevertheless the civilian leadership that has to defend Pakistan’s policy at various international forums. However, it is Pakistan’s policy towards its neighbors and the region that determines whether it shall be treated with respect or deserve regional and global isolation given its covert and overt support for non-state actors that threatens peace in Afghanistan and entire region. Pakistan’s foreign minister even recently confessed that the past four decades of its policies supporting religious extremist groups have radicalized its society.
