Moon Desk: Pakistan has consistently supported the Kashmir cause on diplomatic and humanitarian fronts. It has raised the issue at international forums, including the United Nations General Assembly. Pakistan has also highlighted the human rights abuses in IIOJK, providing evidence of Indian atrocities. Kashmir Solidarity Day is a powerful reminder of Pakistan’s commitment. It is a call to action for the global community to uphold justice and ensure the rights of the Kashmiri people.
Resolving the Kashmir issue requires a clear and practical approach.
The first step is for India and Pakistan to resume meaningful dialogue, as the current deadlock has only worsened tensions since the revocation of Article 370. Open communication is vital to rebuild trust and address the core issues. At the same time, it is crucial to restore maximum autonomy to the region under both countries’ control. Empowering local governance will give the Kashmiri people a voice in their future and ensure their needs and concerns are addressed.
Human rights violations in Kashmir cannot be ignored. Independent investigations must uncover the truth about abuses and international monitors must be granted access to hold those responsible accountable. To ensure fairness in resolving the conflict, a neutral mediator is essential. An unbiased party can create an atmosphere of trust and guide all sides toward a balanced solution.
Finally, the international community must step forward to raise awareness and take action. Global powers, human rights organizations and civil society must work together to highlight the Kashmir issue and push for the implementation of United Nations resolutions. These steps can help build a foundation for lasting peace and justice in the region.
Kashmir Solidarity Day is more than a symbolic gesture. It is a reaffirmation of Pakistan’s commitment to justice and the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination. India’s actions in IIOJK have violated international laws and human rights. The global community must step forward to hold India accountable. Justice for Kashmir is not just a regional issue; it is a matter of global conscience.
Only through dialogue, accountability and respect for international law can the dream of peace and justice for the Kashmiri people become a reality. On February 5th, Pakistan and its people remind the world that Kashmir’s struggle is far from over.
