US Embassy raises ‘illegal’ building

[shah1398]

i wud like to know more about their objection

Main objections as per an article from 2012 are:


“The intelligence agency wrote a letter to the CDA two weeks ago in which it termed the building plan of the US embassy a ‘security hazard’,” the source revealed, “the spy agency expressed fears that movement and activities in important buildings – including the Presidency, Prime Minister House and Parliament House – could be easily monitored from the rooftop of the complex.” After receiving the letter the CDA was reportedly left in a fix: on one hand, it could not afford to defy the instructions of the intelligence agency while on the other it had no courage to unilaterally revoke and revise the approved plan of an embassy of a super power."

First, Pakistan gave US permission to acquire the land and build on it. Second, no one's sovereignty is being violated here. US has sovereignty over its diplomatic missions in Pakistab and elsewhere.
