UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UN Munir Akram today India had been doing in the occupied Kashmir what Israel is doing with the Palestinian people.
He was speaking at the 15-member United Nations Security Council. Ambassador Akram said the UNSC failed to fulfill its primary responsibility of promoting world peace as the “slaughter of innocent people Gaza” continued at the hands of Israel. The UN has also failed to maintain peace and ensure the right of self-determination for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“India’s massive occupation army of 900,000 troops has sought to brutally suppress the freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people and to impose what its extremist leaders ominously call a ‘Final Solution’ for Kashmir,” he told the 15-member Council on Friday night.
On Wednesday, the United States vetoed a Russian-led Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian corridor to deliver life-saving aid to the besieged people of Gaza.
Speaking in a debate, Ambassador Akram expressed the hope that after the Security Council’s failure, the General Assembly will take action and demand an immediate ceasefire.
The Pakistani envoy said regional and sub-regional organizations can play a role in promoting peace and security and resolving disputes. However, their role remains subsidiary to that of the Security Council.
