Pakistan’s foreign policy is committed to freedom, peace and peaceful settlement of disputes. In 1948 the great leader of Pakistan Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah declared that, "Our heart and soul go out in sympathy with those who are struggling for their freedom." Pakistan always remained the main spokesman of the Afro-Asian countries in relation to their right of self determination and independence movements whenever discussed in the United Nations. As married to this world body Pakistan always assisted the UN in settling the international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice are not endangered. She criticized the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state following an independent foreign policy. Her attitude towards the issues brought before the United Nations was neither based on ideology nor as a leader of Muslim states, as alleged, but on her national security requirements. The political history of Pakistan may have a democratic set up or a military phase and this basic element in her foreign policy played a significant role. Documents on Pakistan and International Conflicts is an authentic compilation of original texts of speeches, agreements, proposals, resolutions and other basic documents related to the United Nations peace-keeping activities and self-determination movements and Pakistan’s role in the world body.

It would serve as an important instrument conveying authentic information on the subject at one place. We hope, the sincere and impartial efforts of collecting the information would help the research scholars, academicians, political thinkers and foreign policy makers in locating the required information on Pakistan’s Role in the United Nations.
