Pakistan, EU show concern on HR situation in IIOJK Pakistan and EU stress need to find peaceful solutions to conflicts, in full respect of principles of international law ISLAMABAD: Pakistan, at the 14th Pakistan-European Union (EU) Joint Commission meeting in Islamabad, underlined its deep concern on the human rights and humanitarian situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and also called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza and complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the occupied Arab territories. Both Pakistan and the EU also stressed the need to find peaceful solutions to all conflicts, in full respect of the principles of international law and the UN Charter. According to the joint press release issued by the Foreign Office, the EU reiterated its call for an urgent ceasefire in Gaza; the unconditional release of all hostages; and the urgent and unimpeded humanitarian access and distribution at scale of humanitarian assistance; as well as an enduring end to hostilities in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2735. The EU further restated its position concerning Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine (at a time when Pakistan has chosen to remain neutral and not take sides in the Ukraine war). The joint press release noted that discussions between the two sides took stock of recent political developments, including electoral processes in both Pakistan (parliamentary elections of February 8) and the EU (elections to the European Parliament of June 6-9 and the ongoing formation of the new College of Commissioners). “Pakistan and the EU recognised the importance of their cooperation and sustained engagement, particularly in areas such as trade, migration, human rights, political, economic and development cooperation with a focus on the Global Gateway strategy. The sides agreed to continue cooperation on emerging challenges of food, energy security, and climate change,” added the joint statement. The Joint Commission was preceded by the Pakistan-EU Sub-Group meeting on Democracy, Governance, Rule of Law and Human Rights. While reviewing the post-elections political developments in Pakistan and the EU, both sides agreed on the need for continued efforts to strengthen the electoral process. “The EU reiterated the importance of political pluralism, democratic values, independent media, vibrant civil society, judicial independence, and international human rights standards, which are key for democratic elections,” noted the joint press release. Both sides also reaffirmed their commitment to the protection of all human rights, including women and children’s rights, labour and migrant rights, as well as fundamental freedoms, such as freedom of expression and opinion, including growing problem of disinformation. Views were also exchanged on freedom of religion or belief and the rights of persons belonging to minorities and vulnerable groups and concerns about anti-Muslim hatred. Both sides reiterated the importance of continued dialogue on these shared concerns. The EU, as in the past, also reiterated its position on the abolishment of death penalty and emphasised the need to pursue the reform process of the mercy petition. At the meeting of the Pakistan-EU Sub-group on Trade it was pointed out that the EU is Pakistan’s second-largest trading partner, with the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) arrangement contributing significantly to the growth of bilateral trade. “The EU remains committed to providing information on its upcoming legislative developments to facilitate Pakistan’s compliance with EU’s regulatory framework. Pakistan and the EU reiterated the importance of continued collaboration to promote sustainable growth and trade development,” said the joint press release.Grab It Before It’s Gone!

BALLOT boxes across the country were opened this morning as counting to see who will win seats in the next Dail took place - but it's taking some time. And a candidate in the election shared what she's doing to pass the time as the count continues. Laura O'Neill, General Election candidate for Aontu in Longford /Westmeath, shared her popular hobby of passing the time on X as she waits patiently for the reveal of the counts. She wrote: "We came prepared to pass the time at the count centre!" She shared a gif of herself and her friend who are following the instructions to assemble a blue Lego vehicle. Assembling Lego toys was one of the many things that were being done to pass the time in the count centre as many people were spotted knitting, reading and doing art and crafts. Laura's priority in the election is to raise more care and investment for the rural farming communities in Longford and Westmeath . She's also raising issues about mental health, youth emigration, the ongoing cost of living and the housing crisis. Elsewhere, a box in the Count John McCormack centre in Athlone , Co Westmeath was found to contain a very expensive addition. An unlucky voter managed to leave behind more than just his voting preferences yesterday as his wedding ring slipped into a ballot box at Gael Scoil an Choilin in Mullingar, One of the counters in the centre, Peter Creamer, discovered the wedding ring as he was rummaging through the voting papers this morning. The surprise find was shared on social media in a bid to alert the owner of the lost silver band. A picture of Peter holding the ring was posted online by the RTE Longford -Westmeath election coverage page. The snap was captioned: "We have a wedding ring! One of the counters Peter Creamer has found a wedding ring in a box from Gael Scoil an Choilin in Mullingar." The owner of the missing ring is being encouraged to head down to the count centre to claim it. Counting in the general election started this morning at 9am after a shock exit indicted that there would be a close contest between the three major parties. Figures from last night's exit poll showed Sinn Fein slightly ahead of Fine Gael in first preference votes, with Fianna Fail then narrowly trailing behind. A record number of 174 TDs are set to be elected, up from 160 in 2020, with a number of reps and voters involved in constituencies shake-up. The number of Dail constituencies increased to 43 from 39 in 2020, which will elect between three and five TDs each. The first seat has already been handed to Fianna Fail's Sean O Fearghail as he was the Ceann Comhairle of the previous Dail. More than 680 candidates are competing for the remaining 173 seats with the first results expected later this afternoon. A GENERAL election is held in Ireland at least every five years in order to vote for who will represent the Irish public in Dail Eireann. As Ireland is a parliamentary democracy, voting must be held in order for the public to collectively choose who will represent people in Government and what parties will form the Government. In a General Election, the public votes for members of Dail Eireann who go on to become Teachta Dala - TDs. According to the Irish Constitution - a General Election must be held every five years and cannot go on for longer than five years. However, the Dail can be 'dissolved' at any time to call an early or snap election. The President is responsible for dissolving the Dail and this process usually takes place on the advice of the Taoiseach. The President can only refuse to dissolve the Dail if the government does not have a majority of TDs in the Dail. A General Election can also be called if the Taoiseach or Government lose a vote of no confidence. Or in the instance where a coalition party - the smaller party that joins with larger parties to form a government - withdraws its support for those in government. This is called a dissolution and a general election must take place within 30 days of the dissolution of the Dail. Once the Dail is dissolved a polling day must be set by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government - the roll currently held by Fianna Fail TD Darragh O'Brien .
