\"\" Islamabad: A seminar was convened today to mark the anniversary of the pivotal 5th January 1949 Resolution on Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the seminar “5 January: Renewing the call for Self-Determination in Jammu and Kashmir” was jointly organised by the India Study Cebtre (ISC) at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad, the Kashmir Institute of International Relations (KIIR) and the All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK).<\/p>\n

\"\"The event, attended by eminent diplomats, scholars, and Kashmiri leadership, served as a powerful reminder of the unresolved Kashmir dispute and the unfulfilled promise of self-determination to the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n

The seminar featured distinguished speakers, including Ambassador Khalid Mehmood, Chairman of the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI); Ambassador Rift Masood, Commissioner of the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) of the OIC; APHC-AJK senior leader Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, Dr Khurram Abbass, Director of ISC; Prof. Tariq Waheed Khan of ZABIST University; and Altaf Hussain Wani of the Kashmir Institute of International Relations (KIIR).<\/p>\n

The participants unanimously underscored that the 5th January 1949 Resolution is not an isolated document but a cornerstone of a clear international legal roadmap for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute. They said it forms part of a coherent body of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions that collectively guarantee the Kashmiri people their inalienable right to self-determination through a free and impartial plebiscite.<\/p>\n

\"\"The discussion provided a critical examination of India\u2019s persistent and flagrant violations of its international obligations and international law in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).<\/p>\n

Speakers presented a harrowing account of the ongoing regime of human rights abuses, meticulously documenting patterns of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, torture, and systemic repression aimed at crushing the legitimate political aspirations of the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n

A central and urgent demand emerged from the proceedings holding India accountable for its crimes against humanity in IIOJK.<\/p>\n

The seminar called upon the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and relevant international human rights bodies to initiate a comprehensive investigation into these atrocities and to ensure the prosecution of the perpetrators. The participants stressed that impunity for such grave violations cannot be tolerated by the international community.<\/p>\n

The seminar concluded with a resounding call for the immediate implementation of all relevant UN resolutions on Kashmir.<\/p>\n

It was emphasized that a just and lasting peace in South Asia was contingent upon resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the will of the Kashmiri people, as pledged to them by the international community over seven decades ago.<\/p>\n

The event served as a stark reminder to the global community of its moral and legal responsibility to address the escalating crisis in Kashmir and to compel India to adhere to its commitments under the UN Charter and international law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
