Owing to the increased attacks from terrorists operating from Afghanistan, Pakistan has urged the United Nations to recover and prevent weapons' access to such groups such as the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Majeed Brigade.

"Terrorist armed groups are in possession of billions worth of illicit arms abandoned in Afghanistan, which are being used in violence against civilians and armed forces of Pakistan," Counsellor at the Pakistan Mission Syed Atif Raza said at the "UNSC Arria-Formula meeting on Small Arms and Light Weapons Management in UN Sanctions Regimes" on Saturday.
