India Advocates Zero Tolerance on Terrorism and Holistic Human Rights Approach at UNHRC

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar addressed the United Nations Human Rights Council, emphasizing India's call for a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, which he described as a severe violation of human rights. He urged the international community to adopt a holistic approach to human rights, focusing on dialogue, development, and capacity-building rather than politicisation or selective standards. Highlighting India's role as a bridge-builder, Jaishankar stressed the importance of consensus, human-centric development, and genuine partnerships to protect rights globally.
