United Nations (TDI): Pakistan Monday emphasized the need for resolution of the conflicts in Jammu & Kashmir and Palestine by allowing their peoples to exercise the UN-promised right of self-determination.
“Self-determination and the prohibition of acquiring territory through force or the threat of force are essential to maintaining global order,” Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammed Ishaq Dar told a special meeting of OIC Ambassadors at the UN.
“Respect for these principles is important to realize just solutions for Palestine as well as for the Jammu and Kashmir dispute,” Dar said.
In both conflicts, he said, implementation of these principles is vital to end foreign occupation and realize freedom.
Dar reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to promoting the OIC’s shared goals at the UN.
He said that Pakistan will continue to advocate for a just and enduring peace in Palestine, urging a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, unhindered humanitarian aid, and firm opposition to any attempts to displace the Palestinian people.
He reiterated Islamabad’s strong backing for the two-state solution, advocating for a viable and sovereign State of Palestine based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
