Pakistan Affairs · Foreign policy and regional issues. The idea in plain words, the rules to remember, the mistake to avoid and a worked example, written and checked by Mega Lecture.
Pakistan uses international organisations to gain support, trade and a voice beyond its size. For each body learn four things: when it was formed or when Pakistan joined, its aim, its headquarters and Pakistan's role in it.
The United Nations is the world body; Pakistan is known there for sending troops to peacekeeping missions. The OIC brings Muslim states together and Pakistan hosted its second summit at Lahore in 1974. SAARC covers South Asia, but it keeps bilateral disputes off its agenda, which limits it. ECO grew out of the RCD and links Pakistan with Iran, Turkey and Central Asia. The Commonwealth links former British territories.
Headquarters are confused with founding cities. The OIC was founded at Rabat but sits in Jeddah; SAARC was founded at Dhaka but sits in Kathmandu.
Answer: Because SAARC's rules exclude bilateral and contentious issues from its agenda.
