True, one has to be mindful of the international obligations that Pakistan is required to fulfil in handling the situation. The Security Council resolution mandates that all steps that are necessary to deny sanctuary to militants and prevent infiltration into the border with Afghanistan should be taken. The current government minus General Musharraf will have to design a policy that seeks to achieve a harmonious balance between our obligations in the pursuit of the Security Council resolution and our national security imperatives, along with the objective of achieving a lasting peace in the tribal areas.
