UN adopts Pak-backed resolution on plebiscite
Friday 11th November 2010

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 11: A committee of the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted on Thursday a resolution co-sponsored by Pakistan, reaffirming the right of peoples to self-determination and calling for cessation of foreign military intervention, occupation and repression.

The resolution says the universal right of peoples to self-determination is enshrined in the UN Charter and international covenants on human rights. It welcomes the progressive exercise of this right by peoples under colonial, foreign or alien occupation and their emergence into sovereign statehood and independence.

In its operative part, the resolution calls upon the responsible states to cease immediately their military intervention in and occupation of foreign countries and territories and all acts of repression, discrimination, exploitation and maltreatment, in particular the brutal and inhuman methods reportedly employed for the execution of those acts against the peoples concerned.

The resolution requests the Human Rights Council to continue to give special attention to the violation of human rights, especially the right to self-determination, resulting from foreign military intervention, aggression or occupation. It also requests the secretary-general to report to the 65th session of the General Assembly on this question.

The resolution was co-sponsored by over 50 member states of the United Nations from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Pakistan has been tabling this draft in the 192-member assembly’s Third Committee since 1981 and each year it passes without a vote. The text—sponsored by over 50 countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America will come up for endorsement in the General Assembly next month.

Yes , so dont do your foreign intervention in Kashmir. Give Kashmiris their right of self determination. This is what the world (UN ) says.

The world also tells Pakistan to stop terror emanating from its territory.

Before any plebiscite Pakistan has to take the part of Kashmir from China which they gifted as they knew they cannot hold is as it is in the east side of Kashmir.
Plebiscite has to be done to whole of Jammu and Kashmir if it ever happens.

"In its operative part, the resolution calls upon the responsible states to cease immediately their military intervention in and occupation of foreign countries and territories..."

Brilliant. So I guess being the co-sponsor of the resolution, Pakistan will the lead the way in implementing the resolution and withdraw from the part of Kashmir that they now occupy.

You do realise that the population of the part we gave to them is 0. right?

 

[Bhairava]

You do realise that the population of the part we gave to them is 0. right?

We do realise that Pakistan "unilaterally" gifted a piece of land belonging to the erstwhile Princely state of Jammu and Kashmir and thats wat matters.

 

[twocents]

Pakistan did not unilaterally cede territory to China. There was indeed an exchange of territories.

Good point.

The parts of Kashmir that China controls (Aksai Chin and Shaksgam valley) are completely uninhabited. Zero population.

I thought it was inhabited by some nomads...read somewhere around 10,000 ... no permanent settlements though. But there is a small army camp (if I am not wrong) along the highway 219.
