New York : The International Court of Justice’s set of measures on Palestine’s case represents a significant contribution towards the resolution of the conflict, a top Pakistani diplomat told the UN General Assembly, emphasizing that those steps must also be applied to the situation in Indian occupied Kashmir.
“The role of the ICJ has become even more indispensable,” Ambassador Munir Akram said in his remarks in a debate on the work of the World Court, while highlighting the threats to global peace and security and violations of the UN Charter and its principles – especially that the use of unilateral force – have multiplied.
“Many peoples, particularly the people of Palestine and occupied Jammu and Kashmir, continue to be subjected to foreign and colonial occupation and denied their right to self-determination,” the Pakistani envoy said, noting that genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity are being committed, with impunity, by some rogue States.
