APHC Renewed Call for Self-Determination in IIOJK
October 3, 2024In a fresh initiative to address the Kashmir dispute, Hurriyat leaders have reiterated the necessity for self-determination. They argue that lasting peace in South Asia depends on resolving this issue within its historical framework.
During statements made in Srinagar, the leaders asserted that India’s persistent refusal to engage in dialogue threatens both regional and global peace. They voiced strong criticism of Indian Prime Minister Modi’s actions on August 5, 2019, deeming them a violation of UN resolutions regarding Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
For decades, Kashmiris have awaited the realization of their fundamental right to self-determination. They believe the UN’s January 5 resolution provides a clear roadmap for resolving the Kashmir dispute but have faced continuous obstacles in its implementation.
The leaders called upon the international community to take urgent action. They emphasized the need to enforce UN resolutions that align with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, highlighting the importance of global support in this struggle.
The Hurriyat leaders’ statements reflect a broader sentiment within IIOJK. The long-standing conflict has left deep scars, and the quest for self-determination remains a central theme in the region’s narrative.
They also pointed out that peace cannot be achieved in South Asia without addressing the grievances of the Kashmiri people. The leaders view self-determination as essential not just for Kashmir but for regional stability as a whole.
In their view, India’s unwillingness to acknowledge these rights is detrimental to all parties involved. The leaders are advocating for a dialogue that respects the voices and aspirations of the Kashmiris.
The call for international intervention signifies a recognition of the global dimensions of the Kashmir conflict. It highlights the urgency for the world to engage in a constructive dialogue to resolve the dispute.
As the situation evolves, the need for a peaceful resolution remains critical. The Hurriyat leaders hope that renewed attention to the Kashmir issue will lead to meaningful changes for the people of the region.
The push for self-determination in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir is not merely a local issue but a significant concern for regional and international peace. The voices calling for justice and recognition continue to grow, urging action from the global community.
