APHC urges world powers to play role in resolving Kashmir dispute
Posters demand implementation of UN resolutions on Kashmir
Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has urged the world powers to play its due role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in line with the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement in Srinagar said it is the responsibility of the United Nations, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and all world major powers to avert the continued political injustice being faced by Kashmiri people at the hands of brutal Indian illegal occupation since 1947.
The statement said that non-implementation of the January 5, 1949 resolution on Kashmir continues to mock the credibility of the international community, particularly the United Nations.
It was on January 5, 1949 when the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed a resolution supporting the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future by themselves through the UN-sponsored plebiscite.
Meanwhile, posters have appeared along the Rajouri-Jammu highway, urging the United Nations and other world powers to take notice of violation of Kashmiris’ right to self-determination recognized by the UN Security Council through its resolution passed on January 5, 1949.
The posters called upon the World Body to honour its commitments made 78 years ago and said that the Right to Self-Determination Day was a reminder to the global community that it could not shy away from its responsibility of settling the lingering Kashmir dispute in accordance with the United Nations resolutions and aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
