Abstract

The unanimous adoption of a resolution by Pakistan’s National Assembly urging the government to combat terrorism “in an earnest manner" is politically significant. It reflects domestic consensus against militancy and signals institutional support for a stronger national security posture. The resolution’s emphasis on coordinated efforts across politics, diplomacy, armed forces, intelligence, law, and media also suggests a whole-of-government strategy. Yet, while such declarations carry weight within Pakistan’s internal political order, their relevance under international law is far more limited, particularly if interpreted as endorsing action beyond Pakistan’s borders.
