In his speech, Ambassador Akram emphasized the denial of self-determination to Kashmiris and Palestinians and criticized India\u2019s control over Jammu and Kashmir as a form of modern colonialism. In response, Indian delegate Nitish Birdi argued that the principle of self-determination was meant for decolonization of Non-Self-Governing Territories, not to undermine the territorial integrity of member states like India. He also accused Pakistan of involvement in terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistani delegate Naeem Sabir Khan countered by pointing out that the right to self-determination is enshrined in various international agreements and that Jammu and Kashmir is considered a disputed territory on UN maps, not an integral part of India.
