The UN General Assembly has approved a Pakistan-sponsored resolution that reaffirms the right to self-determination for peoples who are subjected to colonial, foreign and alien occupation such as those in Jammu and Kashmir as well as in Palestine.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the text, which was adopted by consensus, was recommended last month by the 193-member Assembly\u2019s Third Committee, which deals with Social, humanitarian and cultural issues. Pakistan has been tabling this resolution since 1981 in an effort to focus the world\u2019s attention on the peoples still struggling for their inalienable right to self-determination, including those in Indian occupied Kashmir and Palestine.<\/p>\n

Co-sponsored by 64 countries the resolution called upon countries to immediately cease their foreign military intervention in and occupation of foreign countries and territories, as well as acts of repression, discrimination and maltreatment. The resolution also declared the General Assembly\u2019s firm opposition to acts of foreign military intervention, aggression and occupation, since these have resulted in the suppression of the right of peoples to self-determination and other human rights in certain parts of the world. It urged those States responsible to cease immediately their military intervention in and occupation of foreign countries and territories, as well as all acts of repression, discrimination, exploitation and maltreatment.<\/p>\n

The UNGA also deplored the plight of millions of refugees and displaced persons who have been uprooted as a result of these acts and reaffirmed their right to return to their homes voluntarily in safety and honour. It urged the UN Human Rights Council to give special attention to the violation of human rights, especially the right to self-determination, resulting from foreign military intervention, aggression or occupation.<\/p>\n

A press release of the Pakistan mission to the UN said that the adoption of this resolution was a vindication of the inherent right of peoples in Occupied Palestinian Territories and Indian occupied Kashmir to self-determination, as enshrined in international law, the UN Charter and numerous UN resolutions. \u201cIt will provide the people of Occupied Palestinian Territories and Indian occupied Kashmir hope in their just struggle for their inalienable right to self-determination,\u201d the press release added.<\/p>\n

The resolution also requested the UN Secretary General to report to the next session of the General Assembly on this question.\u2014KMS<\/p>\n
