In yet another embarrassment for Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, their lawyer Khawar Qureshi at the International Court of Justice admitted that there is no significant evidence to back its claims of genocide in Kashmir.

“Spoke to my two good friends, Prime Minister Modi of India, and Prime Minister Khan of Pakistan, regarding Trade, Strategic Partnerships and, most importantly, for India and Pakistan to work towards reducing tensions in Kashmir. A tough situation, but good conversations!” Trump tweeted.

The statement from White House came amid severe tension between India and Pakistan, which got fuelled after PM Narendra Modi's government decided to scrap Article 370 of the Indian constitution, that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The matter got so sensitive that it went to the UNSC for a closed-door meeting on Friday.

India on Friday re-affirmed that the country's position on matters related to Kashmir is "entirely an internal matter". The statement came after a closed-door meeting at the UNSC to discuss New Delhi's move to end the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

UN Security Council President Joanna Wronecka on Thursday refused to make any comment on Pakistan`s letter to the world body regarding abrogation of Article 370 by India that granted a special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Chinese ambassador Luo Zhaohui on Sunday assured that despite the fact China did not support call to tag Masood Azhar as global terrorist at the UNSC, the matter will be "resolved". Beijing had said its technical block was meant to buy time so the matter could be discussed and a considered step could be taken.

With Germany being the latest to support India's bid, the proposal to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist was moved by France, the United States and the United Kingdom on February 27.

A day after the United States announced a $1 million bounty on Osama Bin Laden's son, the United Nation added Hamza bin Laden's name to the sanctions list, subjecting him to a travel ban, assets freeze and an arms embargo as it described him as being seen as the "most probable successor" of the group's current leader Aiman al-Zawahiri.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said the US seeks to "abuse" the upcoming meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) to blame Iran for the violation of international law. It is US President Donald Trump who is violating the international law and is bullying others to do the same, Zarif said on Wednesday with reference to the UNSC resolution 2231 on Iran's nuclear programme, Xinhua reported. On Tuesday, it was announced in Washington that Trump was going to chair a meeting of the UNSC on Iran on September 26. Trump would raise the topic concerning Iran's "violations of international law" in the UNSC meeting, said US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley.

Reaffirming support for India's bid for a permanent membership in UNSC, Russia on Saturday raised its voice for the comprehensive reforms in the United Nations Security Council to make it more effective and representative.
