The United States, along with France and the UK, blocked a joint proposal by Pakistan and China in the UN Security Council to designate the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Majid Brigade as terrorist organizations under the 1267 Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee. While Pakistan claims these groups operate from Afghanistan, the US exercised its veto power to stall the blacklisting process. This move is significant as China had previously blocked multiple Indian proposals to designate Pakistan-based terrorists. The US State Department already recognizes the BLA as a specially designated global terrorist group since 2019. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/the-us-delivered-a-major-blow-to-pakistan-12020729 #creator program
