Kashmir remains a disputed territory under UN resolutions: Legal experts
#KashmirIsDisputed
Islamabad: Prominent legal experts have reaffirmed that Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognized dispute under binding United Nations resolutions, rejecting India’s unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, as illegal and ineffective in altering the region’s status.
According to Kashmir Media Service, citing UN Security Council resolutions, legal analysts rejected the recent statements of Indian leaders on Kashmir and emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir is not India’s internal matter but a globally acknowledged dispute, requiring a plebiscite under UN supervision.
They argue that India’s demographic changes in occupied Jammu and Kashmir violate international law and amount to a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
“New Delhi’s hegemony cannot override international commitments. The UN’s failure to enforce its resolutions undermines its credibility,” stated a senior international law expert.
Experts warn that India’s defiance of UN mandates threatens regional stability, urging global powers to hold New Delhi accountable and ensure the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination is upheld. They stressed that history will not absolve the UN if it fails to act decisively in resolving the dispute.
