  "account": "The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) voted on Thursday to adopt a presidential statement on the role of diplomacy during active hostilities, a measure led by Pakistan, according to the Foreign Office (FO). The resolution, initiated by Pakistan, emphasizes the importance of maintaining diplomatic efforts even after armed conflicts have begun. The FO reported that the statement came to a consensus at the UNSC, highlighting Pakistan's dedication to multilateralism, dialogue, and diplomacy in international peace and security.\n\nThe statement, issued by the FO on X, underscores the need for continuous diplomatic involvement even when hostilities have commenced. It advocates for mediation, the use of good offices, and maintaining communication channels throughout the conflict cycle. The aim is to facilitate ceasefires and promote durable political settlements. Building on Security Council resolution 2788 (2025), adopted unanimously under Pakistan's Presidency in July 2025, the statement gives special attention to diplomacy's crucial role during active hostilities. It reaffirms that diplomatic efforts must persist throughout the conflict's life cycle, serving as a vital reference point for the council's ongoing work in de-escalation, dialogue, and peaceful solutions.",
