MIRPUR (AJK), Oct 15 (APP):The Brussels-based Kashmir Council Europe (KCEU) has called for an urgent and serious International community action for resolving the longstanding Jammu and Kashmir issue.
Addressing an international event in Seoul, the capital city of Sout Korea on human rights in Jammu and Kashmir state, Chairman, Kashmir Council Europe (KCEU), Ali Raza Syed highlighted the historical and ongoing struggles of Kashmiris, citing India’s unilateral revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status on August 5, 2019, as a violation of United Nations resolutions and international law.
He emphasized that the region of occupied Kashmir remained the world’s most militarized zone, where dissent was met with repression and fundamental rights were systematically denied, said a message released to the media here on Wednesday.
The landmark seminar titled “Black Day: The Cry of Kashmir for Justice and Freedom,” was attended by international figures and human rights advocates, civil society representatives and community people who gathered to condemn the ongoing human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and urge the international community to take decisive action to stop these violations of human rights.
The event, organized by the International Interchange Development Association (IIDA), brought together people from different walks to life to amplify the voices of the Kashmiri people.
The event also addressed by Dr. Yongjo Mun, Global President of IIDA, and Syed Moazzam H. Shah, Ambassador of Pakistan to South Korea.
Pakistan’s Ambassador , Syed Moazam Shah stated in his address that Pakistan had consistently provided complete support to Kashmiris and would continue to do so in the future.
He said that by denying people’s rights in occupied Kashmir and depriving them from their right to self-determination, India was rejecting the maintenance of peace and order in the region.
“Kashmiris are struggling for the freedom of their homeland under principle of right to self-determination, and according to all international laws and rules, their struggle is legal and legitimate. The Kashmir issue should be resolved in accordance with the UN Charter and its resolutions,” he urged.
President, International Exchange Development Association, Dr. Yongjo Mun said that we supported the rights of Kashmiris and would raise awareness about this issue in Korea.
He stated that their organization had representatives in thirty countries, and we would raise their voice in support of Kashmiris in other countries as well.
The Kashmir issue should be resolved peacefully, and the people of Kashmir should be granted their right to self-determination, he demanded.
KC EU, Chairman Ali Raza Syed also drew attention to the alarming demographic changes in Indian illegally occupied regions of Kashmir, with a large number of non-Kashmiris granted domicile rights, displacing indigenous Kashmiris and exacerbating their political and economic marginalization.
He called these actions a clear breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention and urged the global community to hold India accountable.
The event concluded with a unified call for justice, peace, and the right to self-determination for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the message concluded.
