AI Summary

India’s Ministry of External Affairs criticized a UN report that described Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company as India-based. Indian diplomat Raghoo Puri said the report presented member states with a fait accompli and raised concerns about the UN’s credibility and legitimacy.

First secretary in India’s permanent mission to UN, Raghoo Puri, was responding to a report by Ben Saul, the special rapporteur on the ‘Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism’. He said this presented member-states with a fait accompli, an unfortunate situation for an organisation already facing challenges to its legitimacy.
