Pakistan achieves another feat on the diplomatic front after the UN elected Islamabad as President of the International Development Law Organization (IDLO). Pakistan’s ambassador to Italy, Johar Saleem, commented that this achievement is a manifestation of the UN’s confidence in Pakistan.
IDLO is a United Nations affiliate organization dedicated to the promotion of the rule of law. Earlier in October, Pakistan was re-elected to the UN Human Rights Council for the term 2020-2023.
