Pakistan has called for adequate, predictable and sustainable resources to strengthen the work of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR).

The remarks were made by First Secretary at Pakistan's Permanent Mission to the UN Ansar Shah during the Fourth Committee's General Debate on the effects of atomic radiation.

Highlighting Pakistan’s experience, Ansar Shah underscored the country’s comprehensive regulatory framework for radiation safety, in line with international standards developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He noted that the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) monitors radiation exposure in cancer treatment facilities and assesses potential public exposure near nuclear installations.
