In a special message, President Arif Alvi said that the “oppressed people” of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have not been able to exercise their right to self-determination as outlined by the United Nations.

He said that the international community, especially the UN, bore the responsibility to ensure the fulfilment of its promise and support the people of IIOJK in exercising their inalienable right to self-determination.

President Alvi pledged that Pakistan would continue to extend its full political, diplomatic, and moral support to the “valiant Kashmiri people in their just struggle” for dignity and rights.

Right to self-determination is a cardinal principle of int’l law: PM Shehbaz

Extending Pakistan’s support to the people of Kashmir, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the right to self-determination is a “cardinal principle” of international law and is upheld by international human rights organizations.

However, PM Shehabz regretted that the oppressed people of IIOJK have not been able to exercise this right.

“The people of IIOJK are being subjected to systematic and widespread human rights abuses,” PM Shehbaz said.

He called upon the global community to play its part in giving Kashmiris of IIOJK their legal right to decide their destiny. India must reverse its actions of Aug 5.
