India's permanent UN representative, Ruchira Kamboj, passionately urged the international community, stating, "Having fought the scourge of terrorism for several decades, India is aware of the perils." Addressing the UNSC Open Debate on Small Arms, Kamboj stressed the link between illicit arms and conflicts, declaring, "The increase in volume and quality of arsenals reminds us that terrorists cannot exist without state sponsorship." She called for "zero tolerance" and coordinated global efforts against terror actors. Advocating international cooperation, Kamboj asserted, "It is important that this council exercise zero tolerance for terror actors and their sponsors, their possession and misuse of small arms."
