BRICS nations issue the New Delhi Declaration 2026, which strongly condemns terrorism and includes language calling for “zero tolerance” toward it. The declaration explicitly mentions the Pahalgam attack, treating all terrorist acts as criminal and unjustifiable regardless of motivation or who carries them out.
The declaration also frames the pledge as part of a broader commitment to countering terrorism and opposing “double standards.” It goes beyond security by addressing international governance and global policy issues, including support for comprehensive United Nations reform and discussion of Security Council expansion to better reflect developing nations. Separate reporting notes that China and Russia reaffirm support for India and Brazil’s greater role in the UN. Other outlets also highlight that the declaration raises concerns about trade-related measures and unilateral sanctions, reflecting differing priorities among member states.
