ISLAMABAD, (APP): Prime Minister Mohammad Nawaz
Sharif has written to the leaders of P5 countries and urged
them to call upon Indian government to immediately stop
bloodshed in the Indian Occupied Kashmir and implement relevant
UNSC resolutions.
A statement from the Foreign Office said the Prime
Minister has written letters to the heads of government and
State of the Permanent members of the UN Security Council –
China, France, Russian Federation, UK and the USA – regarding
grave human rights violations being perpetrated by the
occupation forces, in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir
(IOK).
The letters emphasizes the extremely negative
implications of the dire situation in the IOK, on regional, as
well as international peace and security, the Foreign Office
said.
While highlighting the violations of international human
rights and humanitarian laws in the IOK, the Prime Minister
called upon the permanent members of the Security Council to
fulfil their responsibility with regard to the Jammu and
Kashmir dispute.
He pointed that Jammu and Kashmir was one of the oldest
internationally recognized unresolved disputes on the agenda
of the UN Security Council.
Despite the passage of over 68 years since the adoption
of multiple resolutions, the people of Jammu and Kashmir still
await the implementation of these resolutions which promised
them the right to self-determination to be exercised through
the holding of a free and impartial plebiscite under the UN
auspices.
The Prime Minister said non resolution of the Jammu and
Kashmir dispute was a constant source of tension and
instability in the region and a threat to international peace
and security.
Pakistan has urged the permanent members of the Security
Council to call upon the Indian government to immediately stop
bloodshed in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and honour
its human rights obligations as well as its commitments to the
Kashmiri people.
The Prime Minister also highlighted Pakistan’s
commitment to peacefully resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute
in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council.
