UN: US, UK, France Block Pakistan-China Bid to Sanction BLA
The United States, United Kingdom, and France have blocked a joint proposal by Pakistan and China to designate the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its suicide unit, the Majeed Brigade, under the UN Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Regime, citing a lack of evidence connecting the groups to global jihadist networks such as Al-Qaeda or ISIS.
