UN failed in Palestine and Kashmir, says ambassador
Munir Akram calls for enhancing United Nations' capacity to respond to old and new threats to international peace.
NEW YORK: Pakistan’s ambassador to the United Nations Munir Akram has said that the world body has failed to secure the right to self-determination and liberation from foreign occupation for the people of Palestine and Kashmir.
He stated this in a message on the eve of the 79th anniversary of the UN.
The ambassador said the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel through air strikes and siege and the rampant violations of human rights in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir were the most open examples of the UN’s failures.
Ambassador Akram said there was an urgent need for reinforcing the UN’s capacity to deal with all old and new conflicts that were threatening the world peace and causing deaths and destructions to millions of people.
The two issues of Palestine and Kashmir must be taken up as priorities by the international community for resolution. The people of Kashmir should be given their promised right to self-determination.
He said the two-state solution must be ensured to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine in order to bring back peace to the Middle East and the world.
