A key committee of the UN General Assembly has unanimously adopted a Pakistan-sponsored resolution, reaffirming the right to self-determination for peoples who are subjected to colonial, foreign and alien occupation.
\nThe resolution submitted by Pakistan and co-sponsored by 72 countries, was adopted without a vote in the 193-member Assembly\u2019s Third Committee, which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural issues.
\nThe resolution, which Pakistan has been sponsoring since 1981, serves to focus the world\u2019s attention on the people still struggling for their inalienable right to self-determination, including those in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.
\nIt is expected to come up for General Assembly\u2019s endorsement next month.
\nIntroducing the draft, Pakistan\u2019s permanent representative to the United Nations, Munir Akram said there are still situations where occupied peoples are being systematically denied their right to self-determination and are obliged to struggle for its realization.
\nHe said the means by which occupying powers continue to suppress the legitimate struggles of these people are often brutal and violent.
\nMeanwhile, talking to APP, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations Munir Akram said the Pakistan-sponsored resolution, adopted by a UN panel, upholding the right to self-determination for peoples subjected to foreign occupation is a beacon of hope for the people of Indian illegally occupied Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
