Pakistan

UNITED NATIONS: In a message to the UN community on the Right of Self-Determination Day, Pakistan’s UN Ambassador Munir Akram has called for fulfilling the international community’s promise of freedom given to the people of Kashmir.

“Right of Self-Determination Day today is a somber reminder that the promise of self-determination to the people of Jammu and Kashmir remains unfulfilled to this day,” the top Pakistani diplomat said, adding that this promise, enshrined in several UN Security Council resolutions, remained a moral and legal imperative for international community.

“As the world grapples with pressing challenges, the struggle of Kashmiri people serves as poignant reminder of the importance of upholding international commitments and human dignity,” Ambassador Akram said.

“Keeping the promise alive for self-determination requires unwavering global commitment and action.”

ISLAMABAD: The Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and world over will observe the Right to Self-Determination Day on Sunday (Tomorrow), renewing their pledge to continue their struggle for freedom through the plebiscite, as acknowledged by the United Nations.

According to Kashmir Media Service, it was on January 5, 1949, when the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed a resolution supporting the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future through the UN-sponsored plebiscite.

The day will be marked by various activities, including rallies, seminars, and conferences around the world, to remind the UN of its obligation to implement its relevant resolutions to resolve the Kashmir dispute and end the suffering of Kashmiris under Indian brutalities.
