ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has urged the world powers to call upon the Indian government to immediately stop bloodshed in Occupied Kashmir and implement relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
In separate letters written to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council including United States, United Kingdom, China, France and Russia, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif apprised them regarding grave human rights violations in the Indian Occupied Kashmir being perpetrated by the Indian occupation forces.
The prime minister emphasized the extremely negative implications of the dire situation in the Indian Occupied Kashmir, on regional, as well as international peace and security.
While highlighting the violations of international human rights and humanitarian laws in the Indian Occupied Kashmir, the prime minster called upon the permanent members of the UN Security Council to fulfil their responsibility with regard to the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, which is one of the oldest internationally recognized unresolved disputes on the agenda of the UN Security Council.
The prime minister said that despite the passage of more than 68 years since the adoption of multiple resolutions, the people of Jammu and Kashmir still await the implementation of these resolutions which promised them the right to self-determination to be exercised through the holding of a free and impartial plebiscite under the United Nations auspices.
Nawaz Sharif said that the non-resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is a constant source of tension and instability in the region and a threat to international peace and security.
The prime minister urged the permanent members of the UN Security Council to call upon the Indian government to immediately stop the bloodshed in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and honour its human rights obligations as well as its commitments to the Kashmiri people.
Moreover, the prime minister also highlighted Pakistan’s commitment to peacefully resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council.
It is pertinent to mention here that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is currently in New York to attend 71st session of United Nations General Assembly.
In his scheduled address to the UN general assembly on September 21, the prime minister will highlight the unabated grave violations of human rights by Indian forces in Occupied Kashmir.
